All we have to do is speak up. I do. And I'm tired of smokers having no self-respect--considering the taxes they pay, there should be a backlash, bigtime!

#21...... Agreed, I am about to challenge my council critters, all 22 of them, to please send me a list of the 4.000 chemicals they all insist are in cigarettes, it will be on "I dare you," kind of terms.

My friends keep telling me, they hope I never have to ask City Hall for anything. :-}

[You Dirty Rats]

I don't remember any of these people throwing a fit when Bubba used a cigar on an intern.

Ah, but remember...if it ain't lit, it ain't smokin'.

Big Dawg, if I may be so bold...you might want to demand only the list of those "toxic" chemicals in SHS that occur in quantities large enough to actually measure and their measurements, along with the Canadian equivalent of permissible levels of those (20 or so) chemicals.

Have you ever? I haven't.

Thank you Max, will send this to myself as a reference.

Just asked the cancer society to send me a list.

Have I ever asked City Hall for anything........ a resounding NO, and I doubt if I ever will, I am however keeping them in line whenever they do stupid things, that alone keeps me busy.

The antis have done a remarkable job of divide and conquer. It makes me sick every time I see some dim-bulb hanging their head and mumblimg the "I wish I could quit" mantra instead of, "Mind your own damn business!"

That is their goal.
