They just don’t want to lose the tax dollars they get when smokers use tobacco.

Given his support of homosexual marriage, Mayor Bloomberg has no business telling people what they cannot put in our mouths.

It is what the people of NY city voted for and want. deBlasio will be worse. Liberals are weak people. They need someone to rule over them and order their lives for them.

What is the excuse for government regulating the inhalation of water vapor

********
There is NOTHING that liberals do not want to regulate. That way they have the option of taxing it.

The government doesn't get a penny of tax money from the tobacco I grow here on my property for my own use.

I don't care that they don't like it.

Right on the money. Good post.

And who manages all these regulations? Liberals of course, who infest the bureaucracies and hold all the power in government. The more rules they make the more power they have. Its all about power and control.

Thousands of people are killed every year in drunk driving accidents. Why doesn’t this idiot go after alcohol? Because he’s a boozehound too, perhaps? It’s something that HE wants, so he leaves it alone.

He’s also a fanatical supporter of illegal immigration claiming “They pay taxes and NYC would go into bankruptcy if they were deported.” So in other words you can’t smoke a cigarette in a neighborhood bar where everyone knows each other and smokes including the bartender like the place near me, but letting people sneak into the country which means they bypass all checks which then means they could be anything from serial killers, rapists, pedophiles, is perfectly OK. I read something once that claimed 4 people a day are either murdered, robbed or raped by illegals and I absolutely believe it.

Here’s a nice one I remember: To date they still haven’t caught the killer. Why? Because he hightailed it back to Mexico and went into hiding which means he’s probably back in the USA under a new ID probably collecting food stamps.

You know what leads to a lot of health problems? Buggery.

Go on Bloomberg, take that on.

There is approximately 8.337 million )population) + reasons I wouldn’t live in NYC. So my decision for living there was decided long ago, and if I had ever lived there I would have voted with my feet long before this new freedom infringing law was passed.

I am sure many of the illegals- WHEN they work - get paid in cash, thus bypassing sending Uncle Sam his cut.

Isn’t Bloombutt also known as Dr. No? As in, NO trans-fats, NO smoking (the one thing I support), NO big sodas, NO guns, etc.

NYers swallowed everything else, I’m sure they’ll swallow this. Assume the position.

What’s funny about Bloomturd is that he’s a little, bitty shrimp of a guy trying to be a giant.

This country has a lot of really small men, Obama being the smallest.

“Liberals are weak people.”

You said it brother/sister. Which is why it’s all the more frustrating we’ve allowed these idiots gain power over us. Putting them back under the rock they came out of would be a relatively easy (and fun) thing to do...if we would only DO it.
