CALIFORNIA:

Smoking reffer — Good.

Smoking tobacco — Bad.

You all knew it was only a matter of time...

I heard part of a MSM morning show a few weeks back where an 'expert' stated that smokers should remove their clothing before coming into contact with children because of the residue.

Year zero. Scientist discover fat is communicable

Year zero + 1. Restaurants establish no-fat sections, fat people banned from elevators

Year zero + 2. City ordinances ban fat people from 30 feet of public doorways, ban fat people from workplaces

Year zero + 3. Some citties ban fat people from apartments . . . .

What have they been smoking to come up with this.

KVs Gramma and Grampa live in the East Bay Area and to stay warm use their fireplace.

Gramma says they put a ban on using fireplaces and if a nosey neighbor turns them in they could be fined hefty dollars.

Horrible.

I told her not to worry since there neighborhood (they have lived there since the 1950s) is so heavily populated with non speaking hispanics and possibly of the illegal alien mode that no one will dare snitch on them.

I reside in Belmont, CA, and am new to freerepublic. This town, while relatively quiet, is run by your typical “freethinking”, “open-minded” liberal of California. For those of you who know the area, I have fond memories of driving up and down Ralston Ave. smoking a Marlboro light with no fear of the Gestapo breathing down my neck. Times have changed. Obama will surely see to it that individual freedom and choice will be squelched. We are losing this country as we speak. Wake up America. Times have changed.

How long will it take for the FReeper smoke gnatzie contingent to arrive?

I'm not surprised by this. As an apartment renter, more and more leases contain "no smoking" clauses where violation could result in eviction and/or loss of deposit. My current apartment bans smoking on the property. This policy actually made it easier for me to both quit smoking and quit paying tobacco taxes.

My neighbor violates the policy and every time he lights up a cigarette I can smell it. It doesn't bother me. I actually miss the smell of cigarettes! Some of my neighbors aren't happy about this and have complained to the landlord. He can't afford to evict him though as half the units are currently unoccupied.

Nanny State ping..............

It’s one thing when the building owner/landlord make this decision, it is an entirely different matter when the government does it.

It was obvious that this would be the next step.

Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Not to mention our Governor just put a freeze on State Tax Refunds for those who overpaid their taxes. Funds for services take precedence over tax refunds.... I love this State!!!! /s

The Time Has Come to Say, "Stop!"

[kempo]

Just wait until they outlaw tobacco. We'll be having drive by shootings because someone was selling illegal tobacco on someone else's territory.

One simple question:

If one does not want to be around tobacco smoke, then why is one living in an apartment complex? Take charge yourself and move into a smoke-free apartment building or a single-unit home. Government is not your mommy and daddy.

The anti-smoking nazis won’t stop until there is not one place left in America where one can smoke.
