Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes not. That's what Monica said.

This should be used by those opposing anti smoking measures to point out that such measures discriminate against homosexuals.

Joe, seems like the author already hit on it, gays are disportionately childless and therefore more apt to smoke. Maybe the answer isn't to ban smoking, but to ban condoms so more people have children and therefore are less likely to smoke due to having less "disposable" income? Who the hell knows.

I've got no clue what he is talking about. Some of the most rabid anti-smoker gnatzies I know personally are gay. and some of the highly compensated porfessional antis are as well.

stepping outside for a cigarette can be a good way to meet people I wonder if Varney harbors some hope that someday a nice gay man will give her a chance to change his mind since straight guys are unsuitable for nice liberal girls.

Also, does this reasoning work for heterosexual smokers? Don't expect any rational replies on this thread. Most of the respondants are sitting around doing their best "Beavis and Butthead" impersonations, "Huh huh huh. Pole smokers. Huh huh."
Incidentally, I think the link to children has a lot to do with it. I have no kids and smoke. The majority of my friends also have no kids and they all smoke. The few friends I have with children have all quit.
