And yet at the same time these same poll respondents think Marijuana legalization is a great idea.

Truly Liberalism is a mental disease

Is this a ban on tobacco smoking only or does the wording include smoking period and that means Marijuana also. Smoking Marijuana is smoking.

Only one in four? I’m surprised the percentage is that low; I’d expect more of a 50-50 breakdown.

Sure you can be a conservative who does not believe in individual liberty. I see them on tv all the time.

Now they're into third hand smoke.

This no smoking cr** was another "womens' issue" way back when. Same as their temperance movement.

It’s why the government had to cook-up this Second Hand Smoke fairy tale.

Amazing how many Freepers & conservatives get all virtue-signalling about their abhorrence of smoking. A group of Carry Nations.

I support at 100% total ban on all tobacco products. And I am a conservative.

Whatever it is that you purport to be conserving, it sure as hell ain't freedom.

I’m all for that ban as long as pot and alcohol are also banned. I’m sure we can get this right THIS time!(/S)

Wow, in the old days if any of the surviving members of the old FR Smoker’s Mafia were around, they would tear this up.

When I saw that a deck of Winstons is $6.00, I thanked the Lord for making me quit 38 years ago, and I decided that smokers must be in the 1% class to afford that kind of luxury.

In Vietnam, $4.00 or less bought you a carton.

Yep, it should include pot and its time to bring back prohibition as well. It would be funny to see most of our career politicians going through the DTs. No more Kentucky Bourbon for Mitch.

“Smoking Marijuana is smoking.”

Yeah, you can’t bake tobacco into brownies or drink it with honey.

Notice that pot libertarians never discuss the effects of marijuana smoke on the lungs? No cigarette smoker holds tobacco smoke in that long.

I believe mj is mostly vaped these days, or is so strong only a puff is needed. Fat doobies are just a nostalgia trip.

8.6 million sports and recreation related injuries in 2016. Many are emergency room visits and some can be quite expensive, such as injuries resulting in full or partial paralysis. Time to ban sports and recreation!
