i wonder what the smokers on this thread think about not allowing pilots to drink prior to flying.

OMG, how illerate!

I would rather pass a smoker on the highway any day then a drinker.  At least smoking doesn't make us all fuzzy in the head.  Get a grip DOCTOR Hogan!

I did read them and I again ask, why throw a fit over this ban? The entire thread is a diatribe of poor persecuted smokers crying like babies because their world is shrinking.

This thread is just an FYI for the smokers in Michigan you idiot.

Social engineering sucks. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

We are working hard to get the word out.

You sure are lucky to live in such a beautiful, serene place!  I never hear of any problems there.

Ever notice most cardiologists are FAT ASSES? They have a lot of balls bleating about smokers.

Oh yes.  Big fat Doctors, ridden with diabetes and slow heart rates telling US we have to quit smoking.

What a crock!

Hear Hear, I hate the vile disgusting selfish habit. It shouldn't be allowed anywhere in public, nor around children.

And people like you should be kept under lock and key!

You are a danger to our Freedoms!

Not for nothing do we call New Zealand "Godzone" (ie God's Own)...

Hey this is nothing. Cox Hospital in Springfield MO has put a "taboo" on tobacco products on campus for everyone - staff and patients and visitors. You can't do any kind of tobacco - smoke or dip - on the property of Cox. Not outside. Not in the parking lot - nuttin. Doesn't bother me since I don't smoke but it kinda puts a crimp in hubbys Copenhaven use.

"It's coming. IN NZ we are already getting the Social Engineering messages via advertizing, about how carcinogens hang around in our cars long after the smell of smoke has gone,"
_____________________________________________________
suppose that this happens to be true. would you want kids exposed to the carcinogens?

aint it though?! I imagine that a lot of workers and patients will be moseying on over to St. Johns there in Springfield.

What a lot of anti-smokers don't get is that this is not about whether or not you can smoke, but that the government is taking away the rights of business owners to do what they legally want to do. I HATE the smell of smoke on someone but I certainly stand by their rights to do it. We do not go into a convenience store here because it stinks. They allow people to come and sit and do their scratch offs, drink coffee and smoke. Every coke or candy etc you buy there has the odor on it. It is one of the cheaper gas stores so we occasionally fill there but it is a quick in and out.

After they kill smokers rights they will be coming after something someone else does.

a well thought out reply!
but what does "illerate" mean, and what does it have to do with my post?
i was talking about one person's addiction creating a risk for other people in certain situations. this was in reference to people smoking and then coming into a hospital, where they apparently trigger breathing problems in pediatric patients with asthma.
i don't care if people drink or smoke when they aren't impinging on someone else.

Oh I can accept reality.  I'm just thankful my daughter is grown now.  All this government intervention into a private home today is way over the top.

We are trying and trying to tell people to wake the heck up!  The lawmakers have already started on obesity.  And also going into schools and telling them what to serve the kids for lunch.  Even the vending machines are being removed from schools.  Where does it end?

"I'M" insulting?  Why don't you try re-reading some of the posts by you anti-smokers coming in here.  If you think I will sit here and take YOUR insults without commenting, you have another thought coming.

Ditto. The antis come in here screeching, and whining, and then complain when someone gets sick of their bull$hit, and let's 'em have it.

I can solve all these problems, so no more arguing is nesscary.

All the whining do-gooder antis can mind their own damn business. No more forcing their will on others. Just shut up, and leave folks alone.
There. All fixed. But, we know that won't happen, don't we?

Just because I am a gal, they think they can just bash and trash me all they want, and I'm supposed to sit on my hands and not say a word.  Well, you know me!  I don't hold back.  I'm tired of it!

I don't have to put up with this garbage in real life, and I sure won't take it in here!
