This isn't a cigarette thread, it's a thread about laws forcing landlords to do the government's dirty work of banning smoking on private property.

LOL.
Were you aware that the Flat Earth Society also has a Web Site?

That "figure" is pulled out of the same place that the "600,000 cigarette related deaths" comes from: somebody's nether anatomical parts.

I find it easy to resist responding to doofuses normally, but this triumphant smug quoting of "unimpeachable" sources made up specially to perpetuate some state grant I couldn't resist responding to.

Having dialogs with bricks is my idea of boredom-cure of last resort only.
Enjoy your neurotic hissy fit.

And where, pray tell, do you meet these inconsiderate smokers? Can't be in a restaurant, or a shopping mall, or a theater, or a sports arena, or an office building... is it outdoors somewhere? Like a park?

Do they just walk right up to you and just start blowing it in your face? I wonder why anyone would do that? Wierd.

Here's an example, Critter. I was sitting on the bleachers at a high school football game and a woman sat down two seats from me and lit up. As she blew the smoke the wind was blowing it right into my face. My friend on my right very politely asked her if she could please put out her cigarrette because I had asthma. Her response was that I should move -- even though I was sitting there first. So, basically the entire area of the stands had to endure this idiot smoking. It is a filthy habit. People who smoke do not realize how offensive their smoking actually is. Here at work, you can get on an elevator after the smokers have gotten off and the smoke still lingers in the air. Our stairwells in the garage of our parking deck are not used anymore because they stink so much from the employee smokers who huddle in the cold to get their fix. Oh yeah, and there are thousands of cig butts littering the place...
