Second hand smoke only took about a year to ruin my Sony 50" rear screen projection. It looks like shit now, even with a new bulb. The smoke got to the optical block and now there's no brilliance. I hate being around smokers. After the other half kills herself, I'll never live with it again!

But that doesn't mean I think the government has any business with it.

You have to be a MORON to pay $7 a pack, but intelligence can't be legislated.

Exactly. It is a fithly, stinking habit, with no obvious benefits and some risks. But it is legal, and therefore a matter of personal choice.

$7 a pack? That is dirt cheap. It’s around $10 per pack here (£6.80 on average). Five years ago it was £3.20.
Our dear leaders discovered that doing a big push to get people to quit smoking worked. So they had to really jack up the tax on the ones left to make up the tax shortfall.
Now I don’t know what you guys call them, but we call someone who makes money off another’s addiction a dealer.

Wow. It has been a long time since I heard such bitterness by a FReeper against his/her spouse. What is truly sad is that you valued the TV above her. Go back and read your post..you may want to reconsider.

To summarize, this is how it reads to an ousider, “I hate being around my wife and can’t wait till she dies so that I don’t have to be around her any more. Plus she is a moron!”

The bitterness is simply astounding.
