Using the guise of education and finding cures, they are instead spending money feverishly to ban smoking in every venue they can get their grubby paws on.
Once they succeed in one town, they move on to conquer another. And another.
They are leaving death and destruction of businesses across the land. Do they care? Hell no! As long as that Tobacco Settlement money is keeping them in the style that they have become accustomed, they continue on in their merry way blaming all ills on tobacco from pimples to hemorrhoids.
Anything to justify their huge grants of the honey pot money. It’s time for America to wake up! It’s time for 55 million smokers to step on these coalitions, and the time is now!
SheLion - I realize this is not a laughing matter, and you know just how seriously I take it, but forgive me for my laughter at this sentence fragment!!!
Many years ago I worked at a retail/wholesale ceramics company in Brooklyn. We were open to the general public, but were basically a warehouse operation and had a pretty reliable list of regular customers. Needless to say some of these customers were not exactly on our list of favorite people!!!
We had a failure proof warning system when one of them would appear. If it was before lunc who ever was up front would holler to someone in the back if they wanted their lunch on PITA. If it was after luch the person up front would ask someone inth back - at top of their voice about the most recent flare-up of their hemorroid problem.
It took the boss, who was a really sharp fellow, nearly 6 months to figure out what any of us were talking about.
PITA = pain in the a$$. And we all know what a hemorroid is!!!
Anti-smokers fall into both catgories. And actually cause the latter.
