Anything that offends another human being! That's exactly where we're headed. People had better wake up and realize it. I smoke but most of my friends do not. Our state just voted for a state-wide smoking ban in most public places. All my non-smoking friends think it's great. I'm just waiting for the "communist" control freaks of the government to go after something they DO care about, for instance, their right to read the bible in eyesight of someone else. THEN it would be a different story. And another suggestion, everyone had better build a secret cellar and stock up on booze....they'll be after that next!
It strikes me so ironic, we have soldiers dying everday in the middle east in an effort to help those people become a free society and enjoy freedom of choice, speach, etc. and our LEGAL rights are being stepped upon each and every day! Just think about it.....it should strike fear in the hearts of every American!
Goodness!

This is so old. How did you find it?
I've been so ticked off about all these anit-smoking do-gooders lately, that I just searched the subject "anti-smoking".
Oh ok! hehe
I saw the date and wondered how the heck it got to the top again! I had forgotten all about that thread!
Thanks!!!
If the tar and nicotine is exhaled so that the smoke is as "unsafe" as uninhaled smoke then smoking can't be said to be harmful to the smoker. So, if the tar and nicotine is retained by the smoker, in any amount, then, ipso facto the smoke is safer after it was inhaled and exhaled.
You can't it have both ways.
I must be an idiot. I couldn't bring anything up with "pufflist"
Well it's been discovered here in Pittsburgh PA that second hand smoke will NOT be harmful at the new casinos, only everywhere else, lol.
And internet gambling - well it's morally wrong except for certain "games" and land gambling is not morally wrong at all.
It's getting scary, and that's NOT funny!
When my husband and I woke up Wednesday morning at 6:00 and turned on Fox News, I said, "Let's sell everything and move to Cayman!"
take out the quotation marks.
Fat chance.
Smokers are the new macacas!
The only group everyone can dump on without any misgivings.
No!
How's that?
still no luck
I don't really see where the "debate" is. The anti-smoking zealots are purpose driven statists who hate private property and are willing to hand property rights over to government so their eyes don't feel itchy if they choose to enter private property. The smokers are patriots who still love private property ownership and want to help small businesses flourish. Seems pretty clear cut to me.
