As long as they deny them medical insurance then I am fine with it as long as they don’t smoke near me.

Who died and appointed you King?

Just so you know cigar smokers have a higher life expectancy than those who do not smoke cigars.

Check out this picture from the Old Metropolitan Opera House:

The guy in the back right corner is smoking a cigar. It is a civilized thing to do. Only the unenlightened would ban it.

Back when I worked in New York City my favorite part of the day was in the morning right before work, when I’d walk into Central Park and light up a morning cigar. There was something peaceful and meditative about the act that would brighten up the rest of my day.

I’ve never been one for cigarettes. They’re nasty little buggers due to the dangers of inhalation and, although the smell has never bothered me, I can understand why people dislike the stench of the burning paper. With that said, I support the right of cigarette smokers to light up — there is something very wrong with a society that bans previously acceptable behavior simply because it “annoys” part of the population.

Still, I think it’s a shame that cigarettes get lumped in with more civilized forms of smoking such as pipes and cigars. I’m thinking that once these laws go into effect we’re going to need a giant “Smoke Out in the Park” to protest this progressive prohibitionist nonsense. I bet we could get a good turn out from people from all sides of the political spectrum to protest this overbearing law.

Even the Communist Chinese are allowed to smoke out in public. Why do progressives RINOs like Bloomberg want to restrict the behavior of Americans even more than what is applied to people in China?
