Maine: Tobacco curbs need more time for results

Typical response from liberals...we need more time!

If we just had enough time everyone would be like us and the world would be a utopia. Come on, it's only been 40 years since we took over the education establishment and although we are failing, we just need more time and money.

Come on, if you just give the weapons inspectors (all 200 of them) more time, Saddam will let them find WMD's while he watches and moves things.

Come on, if you just give socialism more time we'll control your life cradle to grave and you'll never have to be burdened with ever having to make a decision again, you pour souls.

Please...we need more time!

I like that cartoon. If you can't live dangeroulsy while young (and able), then what good is living past 80 if you can't walk, can't eat, can't go to the bathroom without help, etc.?

I almost divorced my wife because of her cigarette smoking and drinking and "pot" smoking...she was cutting into my stash! ;-)

Please...we need more time!

Just as one can read enough of a paticular writer and develop an idea of their deeper self, well, these threee are a crew of pinched ninneys, aren't they?

"I have never met any adult that thinks he will live forever. But most know that by NOT smoking, they will have a better life, live longer and save some money if they do smoke."

Prove your assertions that you have made!

1) How will they live a better life?
2) Prove that the average life of a non smoker is longer than a non smoker!
3) How will they save money? (Hint: Non smokers are not automatically investing or putting money in a bank accout than smokers, they are just spending the money on different things.)

I have seen your posting on the WOsD threads and you very rarely post with provable facts, I don't expect your posts on this thread will be any different. If you had your way you would dictate how everyone else lives their life. That is not what freedom is about, it would then be a dictatorship!

[CSM]

"Must be a typo somewhere."

Nope, just more warping of information to vilify a certain segment of our society! Of course that is something you endorse!

[MrLeRoy]

some FReepers don't accept that any employer could have such a policy.

Oh, we accept it and have NOT one time accused you of not getting paid to post.

I do not get paid to post, just as I do not get paid to use the men's room although I do so during working hours.

[MrLeRoy]

DRUGS my friend are ILLEGAL. Tobacco is NOT!

Tobacco is a drug---as is the legal substance alcohol.

[MrLeRoy]

I don't expect your posts on this thread will be any different.

Please ping me in the unlilkely event that cinFLA makes a meaningful response.

[CSM]

Will do, but I don't expect an answer.

[MrLeRoy]

Thanks! Me neither.

This nasty smoker has had house guests for three days so not as much time for FR,but I just read through all the posts on this thread.

I've come to the conclusion that the smoker haters can't be reasoned with,tolerance is not a word with which they have much familiarity.

As I've said before,the idea of being an "outcast" smoker tickles my fancy since I spent most of my 71 years toeing the line and obeying the rules.The more people say I'm going to pay a health price for smoking the more I smoke since I'm out of danger of dying prematurely----the laugh is on them.

A friend of mine is in hospice care right now,a wonderful lady my own age,and she never smoked.Do you suppose she is dying of non-smoking?

[Max McGarrity]

Mears, you're truly wonderful!

[Mears]

Thanks,Max. FR has given me a place to vent my frustrations and find out I am not alone.

I'd be there wid em.

cinfla is a bag boy at the Safeway so Freeping is hard to do while sacking those canned goods.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Non-smoking is very bad.
