Yes, just like the thugs who elected representatives who took away the rights of property owners to decide whether or not to allow smoking.

Those people are cowardly turds.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but it is the reality. You can only push people so far before they will react.

Yep, there is a war coming, I hope I'm dead before it starts.

I'm not expecting anyone to come to the defense of smokers, pariahs that we are, but if people start to see too much interference with THEIR private lives they will do something.

Yep. And there is a poster on this thread who does his best to push people to hate smokers.

He disregards everyone but himself and thinks it's clever to run up the cost of government in doing so. He proudly states that he lights up on private property against the owners wishes.

Hard to imagine why people are starting to hate smokers. These same people think there is some "right" to toss their garbage all over the ground whenever they please. Including throwing it out the windows of their cars. Littering like that ought to carry a $1000 fine for the first offense.

I spend a tremendous amount of time on this site defending the rights of these people even though many of them make me puke.

I can only assume he thinks that there's nothing left to lose for smokers, and he may be right. Still, even though (some) non-smokers have done everything they can to take away some of my freedoms, I'll still be civil and follow the rules and respect their desire to breathe smoke-free air

Around where I live a lot of people throw a lot worse than cigarette butts out the window - coffee cups, fast food wrappings, pop and beer(!) cans, and so on. I'll admit though, the number of pieces of garbage they throw out is probably not as great, but the volume is. I used to do it myself - just never really thought about it, to tell the truth.

I know you do, and I appreciate it, because 98% of the time you and I are in agreement.
