I had to quit a 30 year, two pack a day habit for health reasons, but I am definitely digging your church. Open carry, and smoke 'em if you got 'em. Pass me the plate and I'll throw in a fiver.

That whole property rights thing just soared over your head, didn’t it?

“The number of “conservative” FReepers who cheer these bans is frightening.”

Now that the definition of private property has been obliterated, the left is using it to demand that private businesses utilize their talent, labor and capitol to cater to those engaging in sinful behaviour. It WILL also be used to FORCE churches to perform same sex weddings.

Mark my words, it will happen. When it does, those FReepers that cheered the abolition of privately owned property when conducting business can continue patting themselves on the back. They lifted the tent and I am tired of holding back the camel.

I went to the source and what a dreadfully uninformative article. The sponsor actually said that it is dead “this session.” It will be back....

What are the current laws regarding smoking in KY? My guess is that there are already bans in place, but that this was a push by the nanny statists to elminate it everywhere....The article didn’t contain a single detail....

OK, I did some quick googling and it appears that smoking is banned in most cities and localities anyway. I’d say that makes this bill moot.....unless you are a Democrat that can’t stand someone enjoying themselves somewhere at sometime and not being able to quash that person!

I love the smell of tobacco smoke. It reminds me of freedom and good times. That’s just me. Even though I quit five years ago with the E-cig there is something about that aroma and mixture of burning leaves that can’t be replaced and I miss. But I can understand why some people don’t like the smell personally.

One thing that every adult can agree on: banning fake e-cigarettes that emit stage fog is proof positive that The whole anti-smoking movement was designed to enrich government, crony capitalist partners in alphabet soup nonprofit groups and big Pharma companies peddling flavored nicotine gum as “medicine”.

Secondhand smoke danger was a lie Made up by paid shills and Grant junkies.

They have exposed themselves in all their naked glory like a centerfold in a magazine. The only thing missing is the staple in these fraudsters belly button.
