Despite all the absolute demands for tolerance, you are still allowed to hate Christians, smokers, meat eaters and fathers.

I fear that the anti-smoking movement is on the verge of running amok.

Oops! Too late...

ASH, along with these employers, argues that these policies are appropriate because they will reduce the increased health care costs associated with smoking.

Maybe if there's enough of this, people will realize that letting your employer control your health insurance is a bad idea. Of course, many people still think government schools are a good idea, so maybe they won't connect the dots on this issue, either ...

"...What comes next?..."

I'm sure the Anti's would like to take a page form the Iranians and pass a law to make smokers wear a special patch or armband to designate them in public.

Also, when smokers are kicked out of their apartments, home (by lenders), and such ... will we begin to see "Smoker Ghettos" reminiscent of Warsaw in the 1940's?

Then why don't we just ostracize the anti-smoking nazis?

"The methods are mean-spirited, unsupported by science and attempt to stamp out smoking by punishing and marginalizing smokers. They go too far."

Exactly what I've been saying for YEEEEAAAAARS, something no one needed to convince me of, btw.

Good to hear a doctor say it.

When laws become outrageous, they also become impossible to enforce. I was in a locality recently that bans talking on cell phones when driving. About one out of five people I saw driving were on a cell phone! Why? Because who's going to stop them?! On my entire four day business trip, I never saw a police car. Thus, the law is unenforceable (like most liberal laws).

What comes next? Laws that ban fat people from the public square so that children won’t associate obesity with public acceptability? Laws that prohibit people from eating fast food in public so children won’t see this behavior and associate it with a healthy lifestyle?

Too late for these two! heh!

"The expressed purposes of the ordinance are to protect nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke and to reduce “the potential for children to associate smoking and tobacco with a healthy lifestyle.”


EXCUSE ME???????

No one ever has promoted smoking as a healthy lifestyle. For that matter, IT ISN"T a lifestyle, it's choosing to use a legal product.

Promoting falsely, a healthy lifestyle, is the game of the homosexual agenda. NOT smokers. Promoting behavior that as destructive in every way to say the least, as a healthy lifestyle in school to children, is the game of the homosexual agenda, NOT smokers.

Smokers have never promoted smoking to kids has healthy, not now not ever.
