Lower-income adults were more likely to be exposed to secondhand smoke than those with higher incomes -- 63 percent vs. 54 percent, the study found.

I sure hope it was Forbes who funded this study. Without “second hand smoke”, the ‘RATS wouldn’t have their beloved S-CHIP program “for the children.” They need to just shut up and knock off the whining.
Herkimer, NY, as of Thursday -
Carton of M Red = $82
No, I did not buy it.
Of interest, the store clerk had to actually ring it up on the scannar when I asked, because she did not know the price. They aren’t selling at all.
Yet everone I saw go in the store was smoking.
I SMELL BULLSH!T
With all the smoke Obama’s been blowing,
I’m surprised the number isn’t higher.
Sarcasm off.
Does it ever occur to low income people, if they smoke to NOT SMOKE if it bothers the so much? Is there something stopping low income people from asking those around them not to smoke near them? Or is politeness also an "income issue"? Liberals make me crazy!!!
...so what? I’m exposed to something far more dangerous: stupidity. (Thanks SOOOO much Congress, et al.)
Liberalism NEVER makes sense on these issues.
It's all about helpless class envy. Of course if it involved smoking a joint, that would be okay.
I started smoking Mavericks about $4 a pack gave up the M Red to expensive...
Down to a one pack for 2 days.
Just smoked one outside ,do not know how many people i poisoned?
After that, it started getting a little crazy.
Now I work in a school and smokers have to walk across the parking lot and stand outside the gate to smoke. Even if it's raining or worse. It's Nuts.
Of course if it involved smoking a joint, that would be okay.
In Oakland they raised the taxes on weed and the stoners are in a uproar..
Also, people who live in apartments and condominiums might also be exposed to secondhand smoke that drifts from one unit to another in a building.
Here in CA some cities have already banned smoking in apts or condos..
Of course if it involved smoking a joint, that would be okay.
In Oakland they raised the taxes on weed and the stoners are in a uproar..
Weed us their entire life.
So when the price goes up, they are devestated.
Don’t fret. Maybe they need a “bail out”.
What’s a few billion fo them at YOUR expense?
Have you no “compassion” for our dope heads?
(Saracasm off)
The socialist getting on the UN band wagon to eliminate smoking from society under the guise “second hand smoke” kills. Produce one single dead body that was killed from second hand smoke! I am not a smoker, but, certainly can see the writing on the wall in this stupid campaign, first it will be tobacco, then alcohol, and after that the sky will be the limit for these nanny state disciples who think they can play the part of a victim and force everyone else to submit to their stupid kookery. I say they can all get bent!
I’ve been making my own for two weeks now. About 18$ a carton. I make about 5 packs in an hour or so...just watching the golf or baseball game and stuff some premade tubes.
The tobacco is much fresher, no additives and I’m actually smoking less that I did before.
You wanna see nuts? From the article -
“Despite the city’s smoking restrictions, nonsmokers are still exposed to secondhand smoke on sidewalks, including near buildings, at bus stops and at subway entrances”
Now, picture this - some health nut is standing a a bust stop in NYC, briething in diesel bus exhaust, NYC air, the farts of what, 11M people, and who knows what - and he is concerned that somebody up the street might be smoking?
Cognitave dissonance. He is ignoring the alligator eating his arm, to pick at a flea.
Afer all, through their support for the CULTURE OF DEATH party, they all have too much blood on their hands to worry about that which leads to the deaths of MILLIONS daily.
These JACKASS DUmocrats vote in the same murderers year after year who have participated in a genocide far worse than Hitler and his minions unleashed on the world. They should feel lucky their mothers didn't feel the same about the pieces of excrement which they brought into the world.
If I thought this study was true, I would move to NYC and start smoking.
What about the impact of firsthand taxes?
