Because I do not enjoy inhaling or watching my young daughters inhale other people's cigarette smoke I am a hater? That is bizarre.
MS: Smoking at Home Threatens Children Despite Support for Public Bans
quote from post #229
I am passionate about little kids being afforded clean air among their few vital needs.(winston2)
The only way that will occur is if you put them in a bubble. I live in the country, out in the middle of nowhere and still there is pollution.(Gabz)
One point that I haven't seen mentioned is how air tight our dwellings and automobiles are these days.(winston2)
I may not have mentioned it on this particular thread, but I discuss that on a regular basis. The airtight homes and sterile environments so many kids live with in these times is more of a danger to their health than exposure to a bit of cigarette smoke.
Every sickly kid I know comes from a household where they are not permitted to get dirty, anti-bacterial soaps and wipes are used constantly, and are all non-smoking households. All the healthy kids I know are allowed to be kids - they play outside, they get dirty, they've been known to even eat dirt and many live in non-smoking households, but others live in households with smokers, or are around friends and relatives that are smokers.(Gabz)
Now, I can just picture you sitting on your hands and not saying a word if someone called something you did "excrement." There is really only one thing that comes to my mind when I read that word.
And you expect us to just sit here and let your snide remark pass on by? No way Jose!
You are right. It is not up to the government to decide what an individual does on their own property, it's up to the property owner. If we let nanny-state dictate this, all freedom will be lost, affecting smokers and non-smokers. And it is really not right to demonize a group of people this way, for using a legal product. America has become a nation of whiners, I think.
