You've got to be kidding me! These fools seek to make it illegal to smoke out of doors?!

I don't even smoke and I'm opposed to this.

[sackofcatfood]

Because the hazards of smoking can best be delt with by smoking inside a confined space where the smoke will not easily dissipate. . .

"protect the children."

what will they try and ban next.......vending machines,pop,candy,cheeseburgers,hotdogs,twinkys,motercycles,all fireworks,cars,trucks,those stupid scooter things,grilling,barbacue,meat,picking your nose,farting,using more than one square of toilet paper....etc,etc,ect...they will not stop untill they have removed everything that anyone could possibly derive enjoyment from. Of coarse its all "for the children" you know.

The other day there was a thread about legislation banning smoking in aparments. Now outside. Well, there's always the moon.

"to extend the alcohol ban to include sealed containers.
Kendrick said officers frequently encounter people in parks with sealed containers. Once the officers leave, the people consume the drinks"

What about those people with ( gasp ! ) an OPEN pack of cigarettes in their pocket ?

[Prodigal Son]

Once the officers leave, the people consume the drinks.

This has got to stop.

Perhaps the officers should try shooting the potential offenders before they leave. (sarcasm)

[Gabz]

It's already illegal to drink alcoholic beverages in city parks, and smoking is illegal within 25 feet of playgrounds, but Kendrick says that's not enough to "protect the children."

Where have I hear this line before?

"Curbs asked on alcohol, cigarettes"

Almost complete nanny-state, trouble is, they're not finished yet.
