IIRC, Liquid nicotine was once an ingredient in insecticide. Nicotine sulfate was used.”
Most people dont realize that even small changes in chemical structure can have a major impact on toxicity, or that the concentration makes the poison.
I get a kick out of commercials talking about blood thinners containing Warfarin which is commonly referred to as RAT Poison.

You are either too young to remember when people were sane and reasonable, or you are just being intransigent because the facts don’t support your position.

It was funny when the bosses released their new rule concerning e-cig use in the buildings.
One of them asked me what I was going to do.
I replied simply, “Oh, I’m just going to go back to smoking regular cigarettes and get sick all the time, call in sick a lot, etc...”
Freaking tobaccophobes.

Well we wouldnt need a nanny state if you hadnt of acted like babies to begin with.
And Jews wouldn't have been rounded up and exterminated in concentration camps if they hadn't been Jews in public to begin with.

More like lied about it. There was a time when enough people smoked that it just wasn’t an issue, it wasn’t rude to smoke in public because most everybody else was too (we smoked in hospitals back in the day). Then people started quitting in droves, then the quitters started griping. And they maybe had a point, society was changing and the behavior needed to match, it wasn’t really rude though, most public places still allowed smoking. Unfortunately now the non-smokers have turned into a bunch of psychotic whining ninnies, forced it so businesses CAN’T allow smoking, heck in AZ you can’t even smoke near a door you don’t own (20’ away from doors is the designated smoking area, sure hope you’ve got a big back yard because the area in it less than 20’ from your neighbors doors is a legally defined no smoking area). Really the rudeness pretty solidly comes from the non-smokers, they demanded the world not allow smoking, in a POLITE society we let property owners make their own decisions, but non-smokers didn’t like the decisions being made, so we are no longer legally allowed to be polite.

...and just a teaspoon could kill a child: ...I have at least a hundred substances, all typical household items, that fit that description. One thing I don't have in my house is a child. If I did I could keep it safe.

Real simple. If you think the majority of the people want smoking in public buildings then get them to vote down the bans.
- I remember working in a building where a smoke cloud would form inside every afternoon and wondering what working there was doing to my health.
- I remember meals in restaurants being ruined because of an inconsiderate smoker.
- I remember the no-smoking sections that restaurants implemented to try to win back the non-smokers. They were an improvement but didn't work all the time.
- I remember hotels that claimed to have non-smoking rooms, but they'd wash the linen all together and it all stank to high heaven.

from his logic then all/products ought to be banned, b/c it’s not a question of if but when. cars, bikes, ropes, bathtubs, buckets, pools, pillows, dryers, refrigerators, etc etc etc.

“They release vapor into the air so they should be banned from public places just like Tobacco.”
Is the vapor known to be dangerous? You release vapor into the air when you breathe on a cold day, but I don’t see anyone banning you from public places.
To: discostu
Agreed. What was rude was not to offer a cigarette to the other person before you lit up.
I worked at a TV store where we had an ashtray on every few TVs.

Cigarette addiction is much more complex than we have been led to believe. Nicotine plays a role in that addiction, but nicotine, in and of itself, is at most mildly addictive, and probably not addictive at all. Facts are not going to help you at all in this discussion.

If you've ever been to a parenting class, you know not to keep dangerous stuff under your kitchen sink. That stuff goes up high or completely out of the house and behind a child proof lock.
Our parenting class put on by Baptist Hospital in Nashville, brought in a pharmacist to drive the point home.
He'd put a pepsi can on the pedestal, and then he put a can of stump remover with the same exact colors right beside it.
Then he'd tell a real story of a parent rushing into his pharmacy with a poisoned child asking him to give the child something. And he'd have to make a decision about whether to wait for a doctor's order or put his license on the line.
And he did the same thing with product after product after product. And you could hear the anquish in his voice with each story. It worked, we got the dangerous stuff out of reach.

We wouldn’t want anybody smoking in public at the gay pride parade.
That’s just nasty. LOL
