Homeless guys, high on crack they can buy almost anywhere in public, taking dumps on the sidewalk is BETTER than someone smoking a cigarette. I love SF, but they don't know the meaning of the word priority.

Below is a quote from the above article
"Smoking anything other than medically-prescribed marijuana at San Francisco street fairs, festivals and other outdoor events held on city property would be banned under new legislation before the Board of Supervisors."

So liberal hippies went from "do your own thing" to obsessive government control of it's citizens' lives.

Yes - smoking in time will damage the circulatory system- but the lady is old and smoked for 50 years...The anti-tobacco doctor punished her out of sheer spite...Mean while the old ladies smoking probably bought his his Mercedes...through hundreds of thousands of dollars in excise tax...or as we call it "sin tax"-

Even if the surgery let her keep her leg for even a few months - it should have been done- Having her quit smoking at this time would have only empowered the doctors abusive sense of domination over a patient..

There is nothing in this world more spiteful and irrational than the anti-smoking crowd.
