Take 25 steps back, you huddled masses yearning to smoke free.

The "crowd in the cloud" seen outside the entrances of many office buildings around Houston will have to walk just a bit farther before lighting up if Houston City Council passes a proposed amendment to the city's smoking ordinance.

A council committee recommended changing the ordinance Tuesday to require smokers to remain at least 25 feet away from building entrances and exits.

Another small step backwards.

Attention Houston smokers. . .

So now they get to smoke in the middle of the street and get run over. I just love nico-nazis. /heavy sarcasm

This is what we get for electing his (dis)honor Mayor Lee (period) P (period) Brown for a third term.

Guess smokers will have to stand in the middle of the road, that should slow traffic down some.

Fools, and idiots all. When you elect a fool, you get foolish laws. Thanks, Houston.

The decadence of Spain began when the Spaniards adopted cigarettes, and if this pernicious practice obtains among adult Americans the Ruin of the Republic is at hand. 31

Take a look at the tobacco section in the "Themes of Chemical Prohibition" thread I pinged you to, if you get a chance SheLion. You should get a good laugh out of it!!!

Fifty percent of our insanity is inherited from parents who were users of tobacco; sometimes the victim is a smoker himself, which hastens it on. Thirty percent of insanity cases are caused directly from cigarette smoking and the use of tobacco. . . 24

It's for the children

I'm going to kick you right in the seat of your pants, steve. LOL!

Just because I forgot where you put that ping to me, does not make me insane. I had a brain cramp!

[steve50]

Don't know how to post a link, lol. You should be able to find it a page back, it went up this morning. Some scary stuff. "Themes of Chemical Prohibition" is the header

[SheLion]

Ok steve-a-rino, I found it! Thanks!!!! I will read it.

You know what? I don't know how this happened, but I am now on the "smoke a little weed" ping list. LOL!

Every morning, I get a ping for more "grass" issues. Someone trying to tell me something? haha!

I can barely keep up with smoking a legal tobacco! ~whew

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Fools, and idiots all.

Where are they going to put the ashtrays?

I'm no fan of hard drugs SheLion, but I am convinced this War on Cannabis is much ado about nothing. I guess the cigarettes must have driven me insane.

”Partly because if its nationalism, romanticism, and quest for wholeness, the Nazi movement favorably attracted some major early environmentalists. Key leaders in the Third Reich tended to favor extremist environmentalism, organic farming, vegetarianism, animal rights, vitalism, occultism, and homeopathy and to disfavor science and high technology…..”

The rest here.
