Smoking tobacco (or pot) ought to be legal in one's home and a jailable offense outside it.

Smoking cigarettes (not weed) just tobacco which is a legal commodity.........is the relaxation of choice for 55 million Amercians. I wonder what ccmay prefers........prescription drugs.......or booze?

I don't know about the other poster, and I don't want to turn this into another drug war thread, there are already pleanty of those, so I just confine my remarks to property rights and those who pretend to embrace them while they advocate the usurpation of them on their pet issues.

It induces vomiting in me when I see them on this site. Every right which is legislated away and ignored by the people just brings us closer to the shooting, IMO.

This is a circular argument. You can't say that something should be tolerated just because it's now legal. Other kinds of drugs were once legal too, and for that matter so was slavery and wife-beating. We outlawed those just like we should outlaw the wretched tobacco weed, as dangerous a drug as any that have gone before.

Pot and tobacco are both filthy and dangerous, and anyone who uses tobacco is just as bad as someone who smokes pot. They ought not to be allowed to corrupt other people's children into the drug-addicted lifestyle, nor to blow their disgusting drug smoke into the air where other people have to breathe it.

In fact tobacco is far more addictive than pot and maybe ought to be treated more harshly. The vehemence of the militant smokers on this thread is just more proof of the depths of their addiction. Does anyone doubt that these pathetic junkies would commit crime to feed their addiction if they couldn't afford to pay for their smokes? (That's why I think tobacco ought to remain legal while one is in one's own home.)

Why do you assume I use anything? There are other ways to relax than using drugs, dear. Though I wouldn't expect a drug-addled junkie to know that...
