Smoking is a disgusting, filthy habit that the public should not have to endure (New Jersey, against)

Its really strange to me, places like Citibank and other employers are banning smoking on their property more and more, even some public places have outdoor smoking bans...all this...and they will not go after the tobacco companies or come up with ways to restrict access to tobacco products??!!! WTF?

I dont understand this at all, when opioid prescription drugs started becoming a problem, they were very quick to target access to the drugs and the pharma companies themselves, not to mention tobacco kills FAR more people that opioids have, the only thing I can think of is that tobacco industry must have the absolute best, top of the line lobbyists on the planet, much better than lobbyists for the pharma industry, some people say its about money, but if that were true, opioid prescription drugs were flying off the shelves, and some were selling for $100 a pill on the street...LOTS of money was coming in thanks to opioid drug sales, and this didnt stop Govt from throwing a wrench into it, if they wanted a cut of it, they could have slapped a sin tax on opioids and watch the cash roll in...but they didnt, they went with the option that cut off the money...?

Id like to sit down with someone from DEA or ATF and ask them about this, why is the tobacco industry exempt from Govt intrusion, and much are they paying to keep it this way.

I think if you can ban someone from using a radio device in their cars you can just as easily under the same authority ban smoking.

Or require a "hands free" smoking device.

In Ontario, marijuana is allowed wherever smoking is allowed.


The air will get dirtier as we use up the fossil fuels and go back to wood burning stoves. Many more people will die of asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Many of us have always used wood-burning stoves.

yes, but employees going on break and sitting in their car to smoke is much different than using something while the car is being driven.

Yes, being too weak to stand up for your rights, and, instead, fleeing from a situation you and everyone else have a right to be in, free from the assault of tobacco effluent discourtesy of a few narcissistic smoker-pigs that think filling the air everyone is, and must be breathing with noxious, toxic filth is just fine, as long as they are not inconvenienced in the least in their use of their recreational drug
