It is time to take the gloves off.

I think more people are coming out of the ether over this issue.

The Smoking Jihadis are metastasizing into other areas, spreading hysteria through junk science and catering to the worst impulses in human nature.

Carving people out, demonizing them and taxing them into oblivion - hateful and dangerous behavior by hateful and dangerous people.

The national symbol should be a sheep.

Yep!  I have noticed more private businesses taking the anti's to court over the smoking bans.  And it's about time.

I guess California and Maine were the scapegoats.  When the rest of the US saw what is happening to CA and ME, it woke the rest of the country up!

I said before, I don't give a damn about the science, "junk" or otherwise. It's simply a disgusting, selfish, and offensive habit that irritates practically all non-smokers and ruins any evening out.

When you blow smoke into a non-smoker's airspace, it's as offensive as if I lit a stink bomb under your chair or heaped a pile of feces on your dinner table. Should I be allowed to do this to you in a restaurant under the rubric of "individual rights"?

Your whiny, insulting posts are unpleasant and disgusting. I'm all in favor of banning them from public places.

You're quite free not to read them. Unfortunately, I am not free to avoid breathing. Keep your smoke out of my air.
