Hey I don't even smoke and everytime I hear a smoking nazis story I wanna light up. I don't know what kind of tact to take with restriction tolerant smokers though.. do I just say "fine, I'm done fighting for you if you won't fight for yourselves, don't come crying to me when smoking is made illegal everywhere"... OR do I keep fighting, knowing that I'm not just fighting for smokers rights, I'm fighting for the right to imbibe in something that may not be good for me, because it's my decision as a taxpaying adult." ??

Definately choose the OR

You're Next.

And many of us are fighting. As a result of Michigan Republicans jamming through our latest tax hike, I will never vote for a Republican again at the state level (I won't vote for Dem's either - although they opposed the tax). I buy Indian and foreign smokes. Be assured that the Nanny govt. will not stop at smoking.

I hope you stick with your third option.

More and more smokers are waking up to what is going on and are fighting and fighting hard. But we are at a major disadvantage, we're all just regular folks. The anti-smokers are well financed by major corporations and taxpayer dollars. We need all the help we can get.

I'm also starting to see more non-smokers balking at the tactics of the anti-smokers because of the claim of the antis that they are speaking for ALL non-smokers.

Thank you, and keep up the good fight because you are right, it isn't just about smoking.......... they are now officially going after fast food, using the same ANTI SMOKING lawyer yet.
