Fat people are already in the crosshairs.

I smoke, I don't smoke, my life does not revolve around whether I smoke or not.

I know people who's lives actually revolve around promoting smoking bans, getting people to quit smoking, and promoting removing children from homes of smokers.

And they call me an addict???????

I spent the better part of the day tearing out a ceiling, I would venture to say the stuff that was coming down from there is more dangerous than any second hand smoke any whiner has ever encountered. And as soon as the weather warms up a little bit, I'm going to be tearing off the asbestos shingles on my house........

If I wind up with some respiratory ailment, who can say for a fact it was my smoking? NO ONE. I've dealt with asbestos shingles and such for most of my life. As I mentioned above, I tore down the asbestos laden tile ceiling in my bedroom today. I had the exact same type ceilings when I was growing up. And tore those out with my dad long before I ever started smoking.

The ban addicts are loons - they think if they stop everyone from smoking all will be well and good. I'd like to know how much they are willing to pay to get rid of smoking. If you notice, none of them are in favor of making tobacco illegal. Just making smokers pariahs that foot their bills.

Hahaha ... good point.

True. First they are going after places like McDonald's (like they did the tobacco co's). Next they'll go after overweight people themselves (like they are now with smokers).

So how long before we see "Obese" and "Non-Obese" sections in restaurants?
