So, like about a billion cubic feet of free air over Calabasses and one cigarette is going to kill someone? What about BBQ's, car exhaust, and cow farts not to mention all the unwashed, smelly hippies (LOL).
Can the homeless still urinate and (you know what) in public?
What politicians do is also usually harmful to everybody else, hopefully the city will address that too.
Apparently they had to find some way to recoup the sales tax revenue losses from lack of tobacco sales. Issuing fines, tickets and court time must be their idea of getting back the revenue.
I doubt the smog factor over LA is caused by smoking, but thats just me.
This second had smoke myth is just that. However I somtimes get a good laugh back. Arkansas passed a law this last year banning smoking on any hospital property. So now when I need to smoke I get in my Un PC Pick up truck and drive slowly around the hospital property polluting every second but hey no one needs to worry about that second hand tobacco smoke. You should see the employees standing in the streets around the hospital smoking. It is hilarious. They used to have their own gazebo now they stand in the streets.
Certainly fast food wil be the next target of these nannies. I bet tax revenues will drop as people and busineses move out.
but they can smoke marijuana at the concerts and in the parks and no one bothers...something smells fishy here.
Does that include smoking mary-jo-wanna?
Why can't these people get as worked up about the Mexican invasion of America? Or the U.N. stealing their money? Or about university gradates unable to read their diplomas?
They have too much time on their hands.
When are we going to take back our rights????
I'm a 'used' to be smoker, this makes me so mad....who gives who the rights to tell anyone what they can do or not to do?
This PC crap is just that CRAP!!!
You want to stage a 'national' march on supporting smokers, I'll be there!!!
I abhor smoking, but I am against this law. Off topic, I know here at FR, there was a user who was banned because he posted anti-hunting topic and he was into his "anti-smoking" campaign. I have seen that person at other forums. He's a real troll. At one forum I go to, he got banned more than 10 times.
