Stinkin' fluff'n foul smokers... HAR freakin HAR.

I remember the pre-antismoking days, when we had 'smoke free' areas in restaurants, some stinking filthy smoker would always light up in the non-smoking area and give you a foul look if you asked them to put it out.

Its karma baby... karma.

Now the filth all stand outside our building, I have to hold my breath as I pass through their cloud of stink onto the footpath covered in cigarette butts.

Smokers.... are freakin lower life forms.

Ban this ban that...

Would it be too much to ask to make it 50/50? Smoking restaurants and non-smoking restaurants? What's next? They gonna ban smoking in coffee shops in the netherlands I tell you.

bleh.

"they can stop me from smoking in planes, restaurants & elevators, but they'll never prevent me farting in those same places"

good for you..

Smokers can live to be over 100 or they can die at 30. If you wanna risk it then fine, just make sure your kids have the choise.

Not beeing forced to smoke second-hand while in the womb or thru your food should be your right. Earlyer people actually didnt know better, but now we do and exposing your kids to the **** is the most selfish thing a parent could do... just below "abuse".

Maybe i am an aniti-smoking nazi

If both me and my dad can quit than everybody can. I think they should be allowed to smoke if they want to, but do it away from other people and sign a document that waves any right to free healthcare

If they quit and manage to stay away from them for three years then they could get all their healthcare benefits back.

beside the smoke and smell (nice odor when a co-worker gets in your face to discuss something right after his 5th cig break that morning), it is great to see a smoker flick his/her cig out the window of their car or just drop it on the ground before they go inside somewhere ..

do the majority of smokers actually believe the world is their personal ash tray? I think they do ..

I'm an ex smoker, and if ever I start acting as sanctimonious as some of the Nazis here - shoot me.

Life was more fun when we had more freedom.

freedom is good...

many second-hand smokers dont have that freedom that you like so much

so its a question of bad freedom vs good freedom.

I smoked for over 20 years.... 3 packs a day... I haven't smoked in a very long time... I hate the smell of smoke. I have no doubt that it is probly harmful to me.

That does not give me the right to ban it on private property. That does not mean that people who smoke or allow smoking in a private business shouldn't follow some simple rules like post that they are a smoking environment and hire only employees who are aware that they will be working in one.

I can't believe how much government banning people here are willing to take so long as it is on the other guy and might save em a buck.

I am not fat and don't eat fast food but I won't vote for more government to curtail it.... I don't swim much and it costs me money for all the people who drown but I won't ban that...

Get a grip.... the only way government can expand is to make a crisis and then tell you how much it will cost you if they "don't do something"

more taxes more laws...

suckers...

You all only want freedom so long as it doesn't cost anyone anything.... that is really...

no freedom at all... exactly what government wants.

you are SUCKERS.

Don't vote for any new taxes or any new laws.... No matter how much they claim to "save lives" or "save you money" .

I agree with mav, yeager and eagler

Ill go one step further... It should be illegal to smoke in _your own home_ IF you have kids living there. Smoking while beeing pregnant or breastfeeding should also be illegal.

Tell you what Nilsen, you post the names of the children killed or maimed by second hand cigarette smoke, and I'll post the names of the children killed or maimed by alcohol...I may not be able to post them all, I'm not sure Hitech has the bandwidth.
