This is not the point, and you know it. The point is the persecution of smokers reaching epidemic levels. The state balances its budget on the backs of smokers, but they are still treated like second class citizens. The taxing of cigarettes is a crime wave waiting to happen. Not being able to smoke in one's own car borders on insanity. Termination for one offense borders on criminal. You don't support Nazi tactics in government. Why do you support them in the workplace?

Agreed. The obscene taxes placed on cigarettes will only drive it into the black market.

Not being able to smoke in one's own car borders on insanity.

Agreed. A car is your own property. Just please use the ashtray so the litter problem can be diminished.

Termination for one offense borders on criminal. You don't support Nazi tactics in government. Why do you support them in the workplace?

I support the right of a workplace to set its own rules. Why don't you? If my company prohibited drinking alcohol on the premises (and many companies do) I would have to agree if someone got fired for that reason. However, I think that any reasonable employer would take you aside and read you the riot act first - termination would apply to repeat offenders.

You will NEVER talk sense to Dog. He's an anti smoking of the worst kind. You will find out. And his cousin VWM_Minion is sitting in the same booth as Dog. I gave up trying to respond to any of their snide remarks.

Freedom only looks good for THEIR side. I don't know why they even bother calling themselves Conservatives.

I don't really give a hoot if one smokes in his/her car, but i don't want to breath that poison while i'm at the work place. I see no problem with not allowing smoking inside the plant, but the car thing is a little too far.
