Agreed. We’ll all be gone one day and cigarettes smokers want to speed up that process.

You would think being asked if you smoke cigarettes everytime you go to the doctor, that it would be a pretty big clue on how unhealthy they are.

There was NO consideration for the larger pharmaceutical industry and how much they stood to loose if these drugs were heavily restricted.

If cigarettes and second hand smoke are THIS dangerous, the same things need to be done as were done to opioid drugs.
All we are requiring are common sense restriction on where tobacco-effluent can be discharged. Not different in substance than laws against public drinking, urination or defecation.

That such rational and sane measures are so mischaracterized demonstrates the vapid and selfish nature of those in opposition thereto.

As I've oft-repeated, keep your filthy disgusting stench to your filthy, disgusting self.

Cigarette smokers are the worst.

That's a filthy LIE.

I never once said you can't use tobacco. What I have said repeatedly, is you cant pollute the air others are breathing. One more time rocket scientist - keep your filthy disgusting stench to your filthy, disgusting self.

I’m a smoker and I don’t mind stepping outside a restaurant to light up. Though I think a ban on smoking in bars is over the top. You are polluting your body with alcohol but are against second hand smoke? A drink and smoke go hand in hand. If the bar is also a eating establishment then I agree.

The bars in my area got a huge increase in business when the smoking ban went into effect. Turns out many drinkers don't like smokers, either.

Actually it's been quite successful showing the lunacy that abounds in your diatribes and mocks you quite well...

So, you're saying they can smoke as long as they hold their breath and never exhale? What a bunch of waaaaaaaa waaaaaa waaaaa. Life is full of stinky things, some I've listed many I've not. Grow up...

Would you like someone to call you a waaaaambulance?
