Chen has worked in this area since 1991 and helped many cities and counties pass no smoking policies, but not one has been willing to draft a complete ban. “I feel like the revolution is taking place and I am trying to catch up,” Chen told the council.

Isn't that what we used to say:
"You can do whatever you want, it's a free country!
I guess that doesn't apply anymore.
Damn niconazis!

“You can’t walk down the street with a beer, but you can have a cigarette,” Warden said. “You shouldn’t be allowed to do that. I just think it shouldn’t be allowed anywhere except in someone’s house. If you want to do that, that’s fine.”

I believe I would be inclined to set tires on fire throughout the city every night until that stupid 'ban' was trashed. In the meantime, I s'pose I'll have to be content withwith releasing freon, pouring used motor oil down the sewer and putting VOC's into the atomosphere. ;)It's mind boggling that they are willing to create criminals by punishing the use of a legal product that harms no one else (prove it!) instead of banning the production and sale of the damned stuff!

Remember when the antis just said they were looking at smoking and non-smoking sections? That it would never go further than that?
This ain't about smoking folks..........
Go to the source article, there is a poll on the issue and there is a forum where it is being discussed.

They don't deserve the assocation to 'clear-air'.
Safe to assume you can drive around the city smoking in your motorhome.

I sent them an email explaining why...
The only choice other than "right on!" is...
"It is other people's right to smoke(!)"
Ummmm. OK.

If certain politicians would have gone after terrorists with the zeal that they went after smokers in the 1990s, 9-11 wouldn’t have happened.

I agree with you - but you've got to work with what's available.

Seig Hiel!!!!!!!! These are the same worthless bass turds who are petrified about the Patriot Act taking away their rights and liberties. They are also living proof of how badly doing recreational drugs can screw up your brain.
