So.... if people have more abortions they can place the fetuses around the home in order to reduce smoke residue? Sheesh. (Rolling eyes) Embryonic stem cells, smoke residue absorbers - - what will those sick liberal Democrat scumbags at Planned Parenthood think of next?

Babies may absorb smoke residue in home

This sounds like a variant of the ever-popular dead-baby joke. "need to clean those nicotine stains off the wallpaper before the big party? Pick yourself up a sixpack of babies. The walls will be clean (of nicotine) in no time!"

Georg! Mr. Matt! Put down that pen your using and take a shower immediately! It was in my smoking room for 15 years. You better take a shower within 2 minutes or you'll die of that dreaded THIRD-HAND smoke! OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO! I'll call 9-1-1

This could explain why my great grandmother died at 97. It wasn't the first (she smoked for 80 years) or second-hand smoke it was that gawd-awful third-hand smoke.

Pulease... give me a break!

[Prost1]

There is so much cr!p about tobacco!

What about breathing MTBE for years? Where are the studies on that? And, does anyone thing that Ethanol is any better?

Where are the studies on the effects of breathing these cancer or lung impairment products?

I do not smoke. But, smoking is such a minor issue compared to the effects of the other two products that it pales in comparison.

This isn't scrappleface, so I must presume the writer is actually serious.

Makes you wonder about the residues from pesticides, those wonderful little air freshener thingies, and all ambient pollutants that don't come from a cigarette.

Oh, I forgot, this is either to bag a sh!tload of money in the grant machine derby, or it is to further exclude the eeeevil smoker from society by making sure they have to gut their house before they can sell it.

Maybe its a two-fer.

Yep, there'll probably be a law.

But the realtor still can't tell you if the former owner or occupant died of AIDS. Wonder why that is?

[Marie]

Weren't all our ancestors breathing smoke every day from fires? I wonder how our species made it this far without Liberal Nannies to protect us?

[Crooked Constituent]

I have just arrived home from the tavern and the saturation of smoke on my skin and in my hair is quite noticable. I, like every extended evening at the bar, expect my sinuses to be dry and my sense of tasted dulled for the next 24 hours.

I don't think government should dictate to private business about use of a legal product but there is no question in my mind that cigs are disgusting.

All those poor kids are gonna end up dieing.

Just like everybody else.

I call BS!
Babies may absorb smoke residue in home...
...curiosity may expose babies...

They don't KNOW, they're guessing.

One of the most popular debating techniques, especially on the Internet, is to call your opponent a Nazi.

The anti-smokers, of course, bristle at the comparison, quickly pointing out that they are not rounding up smokers and sending them to death camps. Hitler never did that to smokers either. He simply vilified them, taxed them, lied about them, restricted advertising of tobacco, and forbade smoking in public places. Comparing Hitler's treatment of those he murdered to smokers would be absurd. Comparing Hitler's treatment of smokers to the behavior of today's anti-smokers is a perfect apples to apples comparison.

Pile on that bandwagon good and thick so you're all easy to spot...

My morning routine: Pee, brush my teeth, put on some coffee, sit on the porch listening to the birds while it brews, pour a cup when it's done, plop down in front of the 'puter, point my browser to FreeRepublic and fire me up that morning ciggie!

I love cigarettes. My life is better for having started smoking. Me and cigarettes are like peanut butter and jelly.

I know all the above really has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I thought it was a good a place as any to profess my undying love for my coffin nails. Stick it in your pipe and smoke it, Smoking nazis.

How did anyone born between 1920 and 1960 ever survive?

[sweetliberty]

This looks to me like the precursor to smoking prohibition, even in your own home, if you have children....or friends who have children....or if a child might ever enter your home inadvertently...or if girl scouts sell cookies in your neighborhood...or ( fill in the blank).

[beckysueb]

Good grief! How did babies survive that had to grow up in houses with wood heat before CHA?

[Old Professer]

How long can it be before someone publishes a report about fourthhand smoke where the babies who have grown up in this smoke-filled world pass along nicotine or its daughter products to their children and then theirs and theirs and theirs and...

So if you invite all the neighborhood toddlers over, you can get rid of the smoke odor that has lingered for years?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Sounds about right.

Wouldn't one of those Sharper Image Ionizing air fresheners be cheaper?
