You folks still don't get it. The smoking bans will be nationwide in a few years and all businesses will be on same playing field.

Smoker's strategies to stop this have failed miserably. I have tried to explain why but they don't care to listen.

The smoker then warns about fatty foods being next on the chopping block. They are again in denial. The next thing will be smoking bans in private homes using child abuse as the reason.

Their current strategy will also fail on this and as they have done on public smoking bans, they will be in denial about this second coming wave.

It really is sad and frustrating to watch.

I defend everyone's right to smoke, please return the favor and support my right to own machine guns.

Heck, repeal all that anti-gun crap back to and including the NFA of '34!

Suits me just fine.

Ray, give me the money from ANYWHERE, tobacco companies, freedom fighters, where ever, that the anti-smokers get from the government and EVERYONE will get it.
It's not about health, it's about personal preference. And the Anti-smokers have used junk science, lies, inuendo, and MONEY to make it SEEM about health.

Give me the money and I'll refute all their junk science, lies, and inuendos nationwide.

What's that you say? The tobacco companies are forbidden BY LAW to give me any money?
What's that you say? The normal person who cares about freedoms and liberties can't afford to give the same amount the government can afford?

We see what's happening. We just don't have the bankroll to get it in front of everyone.

And when they come for something you like........I will STILL laugh my head off.

Add to your list, Christian music. They are now using the moral police's tools against all Christians.

MG's are legal in something like 34 states, so long as they are properly registered with the federal government.

Don't YOU look forward to the day when you have to register your cigs with the government in order to smoke? (yep, that's SARC. )

I'm not worried about it.  Besides, I roll my own.

I hate to say it, but I am no longer surprised by this.
These people are really a bunch of insecure losers.

Sickening, yes. The anti-smoking nazis started before the litigation was ever a viable vehicle for going after 'Big Tobacco'. It only took one Liberal Federal Judge in Florida to remove every affirmative defense of the cigarette companies to ensure a plaintiff victory which then basically opened the floodgates which then eventually included Congress (the biggest trial lawyers of them all).

Here in Massachusetts a state rep called Jarret Barrios (He has a HUSBAND called Doug) wants Fluffernutters out of the schools.

It's becoming a dark comedy.

I read that thread.
There was a time when this would have been unbelievable.

These people are certifiably insane.
