Such people have no sense of humor, so before you can bust up their game, you have to frustrate their ability to persecute others. Only then can you turn them into objects of derision.

Smudge pots start the process effectively by both sending them on “wild goose chases”, and fooling students, faculty, and administration that their actions are ineffective, because they can “smell people smoking”.

Next, in frustration, the cigarette police become increasingly authoritarian and oppressive to innocent non-smokers, which breeds resentment. Other than searches and interrogations, they will likely start threatening innocent people who they think smell like smoke. “Suspects”.

Then is the very best time to make fun of them, because it will tap into the pent-up frustration.

I would just continue to smoke wherever and whenever I want and deduct the cost of the fines as a "state and local tax" on my federal income tax return.

I've been doing that for a number of years on tobacco, gasoline, gross receipts, traffic tickets and whatever other kind of bullcrap is imposed statewide or locally.

No consequences yet. By the time I attract the attention of the powers that be, I will no longer be inhabiting this planet.

Either that, or I just ignore these infractions against my personal liberty.

There aren't enough cops to enforce all these laws - yet.

I don’t like it, but I’m just proud that it took them this long.

The difference DC2K is, I am just little more succinct than WD :>)

suc·cinct

(esp. of something written or spoken) Briefly and clearly expressed.

Yes...you are succinct, and concise. ;o)

con·cise (kn-ss)
adj.
Expressing much in few words; clear and succinct.

You two each have a different way of expressing things, and you each express it in your own wonderful, individual way.

IOW, you’ve both made your mark here, and neither of you ever disappoint me. ;o)

Too much bragging induces flirting with old men
