What smoking did they ban....all smoking or just smoking in certain areas....

I find it interesting how smoking has somehow become a conservative thing......liberals are not just opposed to smoking out of health reasons but for political reasons too. I quit smoking cigars last April and was talking with a liberal friend of mine about it and he said: "dont you feel much better" and I said NO, I loved smoking cigars and life was more fun as a smoker...I quit cuz I didn't want to pay for the habit anymore and did not like the stale smoke stinking up my car and house.

He couldn't believe that I actually preferred the smoking life over non-smoking and did not feel any health benefits to quitting. It almost offended him..

I see a lot of liberals at college who smoke, not sure how they reconcile themselves with the anti-smoking nazis.

You're dead on, because it certainly isn't a RHINO thing. They're cutting peoples' throats twice as fast as the dems are.

Smoking is not the issue. Property rights is the issue.
