Another "conservative" weighs in. Yes, and the hyperbole is so thick, you could cut it with a knife:
Add to that mix an elderly person with breathing problems who cannot go outside without breathing someone else's cigarette smoke and painfully coughing their guts out just to go to their mailbox.
Sounds like "...... thousands of innocent children being gunned down every year by ruthless gang-bangers with military assault rifles......."
I completely agree with you. I live in an apartment above a chain smoker. Everything in my apartment now stinks -- my couch, my curtains, my bathroom towels... I pay the same rent as this guy -- don't I have any rights? I am conservative but I really do dislike smoking because it affects other people besides the smoker. I also suffer from asthma and I can't tell you how many times I've had smoke blown in my face by inconsiderate smokers.
