Kill the Intolerant!
Banning cigarettes will work just as well as banning the sale or manufacture of whiskey did 100 years ago.
Except for the free people who smoke. Then, when the non-smoking free people vote to tax them, they can experience the tyranny of the majority.
Nothing like true democracy!
The answer to everything is more government and higher taxes.
All hail the Nanny State!
Fixed it - Not a smoker myself, but what people do to their own bodies is their business. Smoke free buildings are OK following the "your right to swing your fist ends at my nose" changing to "your right to distribute smelly carcinogens ends at my nose" philosophy, but the sort of mindset that restricts people from smoking in the privacy of their homes or outdoors or tries to tax the behavior out of existence is impinging on personal liberty.
This is the same mindset that bans guns
Correct, not as long as the government stands to lose billions of dollars in taxes every year.
People have to keep smoking!
It’s for the KIDS!!!!
Kill the Intolerant!
Typical commie lib. Her solution to improve the quality of life demands less individual freedom, and greater government control over people’s lives.
Liberalism is a far worse cancer than anything caused by smoking.
These totalitarian commie freaks wants you to select your gender, but they don’t want you to smoke? Back-off.
For a quick check on that anecdotal statistical, visit about any doctor's office or take a stroll around your local hospital.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
Georgia: “ the percentage of bars and restaurants permitting smoking has almost doubled due to loopholes in the law” Not so, completely wrong. I live here and haven’t been into a restaurant allowing smoking in many years.
Or maybe snotty Millenial bloggers living in Boston or Brooklyn need to stop trying to tell the people of Kentucky or Georgia what their tobacco laws ought to be.
JUST LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE, DAMMIT!
1. Government (national and state) love smoking; that is the truth.
2. Smoking helps pensions survive
3. Smoking provides politicians a bad buy to blame ills on
4. Smoking as hated by the left is an amazing source of hypocrisy; so many hollywooders and libs smoke
5. Last but not least, smoking, aka, big tobacco, provides our uniparty with massive lobbying funds for reelection and tax revenue
If they hated it, it would be illegal. Next time you see a phony commercial or billboard, point it out to your family members before they get brainwashed.
Heck, breathing in smoke of any kind cannot be good, but, look at the left and BIG MARIJUANA...would it have been brought about if it were bad?
This is one ex-smoker who says “Keep your freakin social engineering to yourself”!
Very interesting. All this smoking bann is nothing more then a conditioning for big brother control. Does offer 6 usefull examples to use to peel back this heavy handed save the world social engineering approach brought about though the application (like climate contro)l of pseudo science. If it made a dent in lung cancer which it hasn’t we’d be hearing about it.
Here in Washington there's an IOU to pay back the money hardieharhar
Ed
Wrangell Alaska last year: Walked into a bar. Ashtrays on the tables and on the bar. Bartender and several customers happily smoking and drinking. Down the street another bar. No smoking.
As it should be.
If you don’t like smoking, don’t do it.
Leave the rest of us alone.
The Moral Police are busy, busy, busy watching YOU!
