" If someone doesn't spend some time on the Net, they don't have a clue as to all the smoking bans popping up across the United States and how smokers are talked to in here. When I tell them, they just can't believe it."
My wife didn't believe, till one day she happened to get a good look at some of these posts.
I told her, "now you know what these people are really up to, making you out to be a secondhand citizen, an awful, selfish, evil being who has no concern fo any thing but the"fix".
Then I said " wait there's more. You are also being portrayed as an uneducated, brainless 'thing', who only exists to make these poor antismoker's lives a horrible experience, ranking right up there with being in hell."
"And, your basically a murderer, with your secondhand smoke, and a child abuser, a horrible parent, who cares for nothing."
My "stupid, uneducated, smoking wife" Just entered nursing grad school. (MSN)
I think she understands more why I'm here now, and is beginning to take an active role herself.
Thanks, antis! For helping wake yet another person from their slumber, by showing what a bunch of nasty, no-good control freaks you are! WOO HOO!!
Perzackery!!!!!
My husband didn't need the internet to be woken up to the tactics and antics of the antis.....he saw first hand what I have dealt with over the years from them. He's not all that active on the issue online, but in real life the man is an absolute jewel when it comes to this issue. He's been known to call me when he's on the road and gets into a conversation with someone spouting the anti lies and talking points (same thing, I know) just to make sure he has the point correct.
I am so thankful for the Internet and for being able to reach millions of people. Smokers and non-smokers alike. If we are just wrapped up in our own communities, we have no clue as to what is going on throughout the rest of the United States.
It's a real eye opener!
