Why must the newly reformed become obnoxious reformers?

Most members of Alcoholics Anonymous come to their first meeting by way of the court; I expect soon that a counterpart, Smokers Anonymous might come to be a source of prideful revenge, as well.

And Madame Dufarge's response to his initial post isn't "attitude"?

As the saying goes, "Is that the hill you want to die on?" You want to fight for liberty to do something unhealthy and stinky? As a non-smoker who has never and will never smoke: yes.

I understand, palmer, and I don't believe the smoking bans are constitutional or appropriate to a free society. However, I think that we should pick our battles very carefully. Especially now.
To: SheLion
Like this one as well:
Great one!

To: SheLion
I am a nonviolent man, but its getting to the point that the NANNYSTATERS who want us to embrace their YUPPIE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE through government fiat need to be taken out in the town square and LYNCHED from the Elm tree.
Do you hear me Mayor Bloomberg? :-)

"if she smokes she pokes" is a pretty hard and fast rule.
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker?

Smoking is a personal battle for many, you won yours, congratulations. Going to a bar filled with smoke doesn't bother me. I didn't mind working with cigar smokers back in the 80's when they could still light up in the office. I wouldn't put this battle in the category of gun control, but it is an important scientific debate. Should we let the anti-smokers get away with lying about the science?

Well honestly most female smokers are sluts.
A great example is a high school girl that smokes. The night she comes home from prom and takes off her prom dress...you can bet that that is not the first time that evening that the dress came off.

"Smoking, drinking, drug abusing, it's all the same bad thing. A poison is a poison"
and you think the government has the right to stop you from "poisoning" yourself?

Using proper statistical methods
In America, 28% of the population aged 15+ smokes...The lung cancer death rate per 100,000 aged 15+ is 86.
In Japan, 59% of the population aged 15+ smokes...The lung cancer death rate per 100,000 aged 15+ is 47.
Statistics clearly show that speaking english doubles your lung cancer risk.
