I always walk off into "left-field" when having a smoke. I don't even stand next to other smokers.

I don't toss butts on the ground. I field-strip, and toss the butt safely in the trash.
More people should be that way! Unfortunately it seems consideration for others is a lost virture in many people.

Some people have too much time on their hands. Her telling you that is just as assinine as putting warnings and pictures of cancerous lungs on cigarette packs. Smokers may have picked up a bad habit, but it doesn't make them stupid and oblivious to reality.

then I have a problem because you are bugging the crap out of me and your phone should be snatched away
while driving and talking you should be pulled over and hopefully arrested
on the spot because you are placing my life in danger!!
why not just shoot cell phone users and be done with it??
all of this is so frigging stupid
" you looked at me""
" you mad me mad""
why do you people do something about your own lives rather than sick your long noses in other's??
Control is right, dominion over others, I'm sure more rules and regulations are coming.

Oh yeah, the little fact that filtharette smokers spew their filth and throw butts everywhere makes it a problem for everyone.

Oh and by the way? Study the effects of increasing nicotine receptors in the brain. Yes, sad to say, smokers actually think quicker than you do. It's a fact.

Everybody keeps screaming about the "dumbing down of America". Funny how that coincides with the decline in smoking, isn't it?

a good one..

i want to open a smoking bar,, but because of a bunch of whiners it's illegal to open a bar that caters to smokers.... now that's an infringment of my rights..

Agreed.

Smokers should be able to have their own bars and businesses that will cater to them. There would still be bars and similar businesses that catered to nonsmokers. Smokers are more demonized than gangbangers or banksters in today's society. It's sick.

Cigarette smokers aren't being imprisoned but are most certainly being threatened with fines if they smoke anywhere in public, even in a private business where the owner would be willing to allow it if he/she could.

That was meant to be sarcastic, but I decided to delete it anyway.
