“I pay $400 a month, and then they tell you what you can't do in your room.”

It's NOT your room.

Being a smoker is not a civil right. It's a lifestyle choice

How is this different that being LGBT?

When the government controls your food they control your life.

Stop sucking on the government teat, get a job (or two or three, whatever it takes), move out of government housing and live your life the way you please.

What about little old ladies who smoke medicinal marijuana for their chronic pain conditions? YOU HATE THEM TOO?

Meanwhile in section 8, all the brothers are smoking pot and drinking 40’s.

I was going to say that. And I'm a smoker.

“I pay $400 a month, and then they tell you what you can’t do in your room.”

1) Bingo.

2) How much is this guy burning up per month if he’s so addicted that he has to bundle up multiple times per day to survive sub-freezing temperatures to satisfy his habit? A pack a day? Two hundred bucks a month?

I ballooned to over 200 lbs when I quit smoking. I got breathless just tying my damned shoes.

I was grouchy as hell and my free floating anxiety was off the charts.

I started smoking again, lost the weight and feel so much better now.

My joints no longer ache just walking across the room.
