Still the non-smokers have at least one automobile ~ and that exhaust is far nastier than that of tobacco ~ and they probably barbaque meat outdoors from time to time (or at least roast veggies).

Wonder what they'd think if someone complained to the city council about the grill, the car, the stove, the toilet vent, the..... well, maybe SWEATY BODIES.

sieg f'n heil to the Rocklin Reich

[Spunky]

I am an ex-smoker and when I go out in my backyard and the neighbor is smoking his cigar, it makes me sick. It smells horrible. I have a fan I bring out and blow it back his way. It helps some. Banning someone in their own yard is going way to far though.

Nanny State Ping!

It was only a matter of time.............

Rocklin is actually a very conservative town. It is in Placer County which overwhelmingly votes Republican. However, there has been an influx of some Bay Area transplants into this area over the years. Although there are a few liberal pockets here and there, it is not the norm for Rocklin. Hopefully, the city council understands that their residents would, for the most part, be appalled by such a restriction of freedom.

How is that any different than standing in your doorway blowing smoke toward your neighbors?

[Publius6961]

The Rocklin City Council is considering making it against the law for smokers to smoke anywhere outside on their property.

This goes right along with the (smoker-financed) California anti-smoking TV propaganda commercials. The multi-billion$ tobacco settlement of a couple of decades ago had specific goals that have been ignored. One of them was "Education," but another was funding of health care expenses for smoking related diseases.

To date, I have not seen a single accounting of how the money is being spent in California, other than the rumor that funds have been diverted (like many other funds have been) to the State General Fund.

Local ordinances, like this proposed one in Rocklin, fail utterly to justify the restriction of others' basic citizenship rights with scientific proof, and rely on apocryphal rumors and personal dislikes. If simply a minuscule whiff of an unwanted odor is cause to restrict the rights of others, it isn't simply a matter of a "slippery slope;" it is a wholesale flood.

Drango will be pleased, no doubt.

Nanny State PING!

[Mears]

It is with great pride that I can say that I have never visited the state of California,and I never will.

(Quick plane change enroute to HI doesn't count)

[eXe]

Its to the point where If I lived here, I would make a point of smoking in my back yard every time I lit up.

They cant be bothered with illegals all over the state, but they are going to chase down smokers who light up on their property.. yeah good luck with that. Wait till the first person gets killed because a cop was on a call for “Illegal smoking” lol

[unixfox]

And I'm sure the citizens will be outraged. Surely they will claim that this is infringing on their property rights, free speech, et al.

Of course they will do nothing, and one day we will ALL wake up and find that EVERYTHING we do will be banned, regulated or against the law.

It was a great country while it lasted.

BBQ’s and gas mowers can’t be to far behind. After all, smoke is smoke.

Shhh, all the anti-smokers want is non-smoking sections in restaurants and smoking eliminated from airplanes. Plus, seat belt laws will never be a primary reason for drivers to be stopped and ticketed...

Oh wait....
