I'm not trying to ban you either. You smokers have this crazy notion that I'm trying to get smoking banned. It doesn't matter how many times I state my conviction that private businesses should be able to choose for themselves, you all are still convinced that I want you outlawed. It must be either a victim mentality or a guilty conscience.

I'll say it again: I think smoking is an obnoxious, stinky habit that is engaged in by the none too bright. But, you should be free to do it - without the burden of excessive taxes intended to modify behavior - until you keel over if you like.

"that is engaged in by the none too bright."

And by that part of your statement, you became an enemy.
I'll compare my I.Q. with yours any day.

If you really want to give us the latitude to smoke in private places, get off your bullsh*t condescending attitude!

You argue like a woman, so I'm assuming you are.

If you, as stated, don't think that we should be excessively burdened with taxes, then we're in agreement.

So why do you rear your head on these smoking-related posts with your obnoxious, stinky, none-too-bright-posts other than to make obnoxious, stinky, none-too-bright "points"?

I'm all for your keeling over when you like also.

There's diversity for you.

Maybe you aren't trying to get smoking banned. But for heaven's sake, can't you grasp how insulting it is to be called "none-too-bright"? Why shouldn't we doubt your motives, when you have such a low opinion of people you don't even know, based solely on a habit which you happen to dislike?
