Whenever it stops being a route to profits via Enviro-Jihadism and whenever it stops being an effective mechanism by which Leftists can destroy Western civilization and culture.
Unintended consequences strikes again.
This is just insane! OK antismokers, how ya’ gonna defend this??
One thing we can do that we seem reluctant to do is just ignore their rules. Just light up where ever you want to. They banned smoking at my husbands workplace and the workers just ignored them. This place employed around 1600 people and a good part of them smoked. Anyhow they just continued to smoke as usual and the company never said anything to them. When my MIL was in the hospital, they had a smoke tent set up a long ways from the hospital. So we just smoked in the courtyard. It was far enough away from the front. Anyhow they had this flunky who would come around and tell us to put our cigarettes out. We would say ok. Then when he walked away we’d light up again. He got tired of telling us after awhile and just ignored us. Of course it would have to be a mass effort or you’d probably wind up in jail.
And try not to breathe too much cause you are exhaling carbon dioxide.
I’ve got an old tom cat that can pollute a 2000 square foot house in 5 seconds with just one emission.
“...far nicer than straining to hear her sultry voice over the din of the other patrons and the blaring TV.”
YAHTZEE!
Wow. I guess all of us that use propane gas grills will be targeted next by the Enviro-Wackos. I’d better switch back to charcoal, lest I wake up to find the cat on the spit one morning soon. *ROLLEYES*
It’s official! I’m only “one puff away” from starting to smoke, just for the PRINCIPLE of this stupidity.
Actually, my birthday is in July and I always purchase a nice lady-like cigar to smoke in celebration of another successful trip around the sun. I’ll have many more reasons to light up this year! :)
So these heaters are 100% efficient at creating CO2 (all fuel consumed goes to CO2 production and not other gasses)?? I’ll take one!
On average, humans haven't lived very long until modern society came along. People were lucky to make it to 40 at the turn of 1900.
The 3600lbs of propane (plus 12910lbs oxygen) will yield 5586lbs of water vapor in addition to the 10924lbs of CO2. Impurities in the fuel will likely cause trace amounts of other gases.
That's correct.
And people are living a lot longer today. Smoking or not, second hand smoke or not, people are living longer today!!!
I credit the gyms and working out and keeping fit and foods being prepared a lot better today. :)
And burning kerosene, I think, the smoke they emit probably IS hazardous to peoples’ health, unlike the SHS scam. Save me from a liberal trying to fix a ‘problem’.
