[Just another Joe]

Its the stench of the smoke and the insistance on smoking anywhere and everywhere wihout any thought of its effects on others. Its the attitude.

And minion says, "I think it stinks. Daddy govt, ban it."

And BTW, you can parrot that all you want to, it doesn't make it true.

Intro: CAMP ZAMA, Japan The Army and Air Force also want to extinguish their smokers' desires to light up. According to Army Regulation 600-63, issued in 1996, from the moment a recruit enters boot camp, tobacco use is "controlled." Commanders and supervisors are instructed to "also encourage family members and retirees to engage in appropriate anti-tobacco activities."

And the Air Force joined earlier this month in a worldwide ban on smoking in all Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities on military bases. . .

Like the Navy, the Army and Air Force, including Yokota Air Base, also have ordered their clubs to become smoke-free, with limited smoking areas. Signs posted at the Camp Zama Community Center, for instance, specify that all its facilities forbid smoking.

Soldiers indicated they share sailors' views against an outright ban on their right to smoke. . .

And even though the Navy and Marine Corps ban tobacco use during recruit training, Navy research shows that up to 10 percent of graduating boot camp recruits begin a tobacco habit upon leaving basic training and up to 80 percent of previous users return to their tobacco habit after they graduate.
