By the way, Obama is a smoker, any thoughts on that?

to pokersloper:

stfu and stop complaining. you sound like a whiny old man. if you dont like smoking dont go outside, have your food delivered, and keep your windows closed. in the meantime, the rest of the world will go on while you sit in your armchair and tell your grandkids how wrong the world is.

kthxbye

Well, I don't know this to be true, but it is consistent with his poor decision making.


flynn,

If you don't like reading my whines, stop reading. Go tell your hipster friends how wrong anti-smoking views are.

this topic has become unmoored from it's original intent

let us return to hating people with dogs

I realize it's hard to take courage in a world full of people - you can lose sight of it all and the darkness inside you can make you fell so small.

But I see your true colors shining through.

And it makes me *cough* *cough* vomit.

MeredithB,

Have a nice day.

lately this has kind of become my creed:

You too!

And a nice weekend where ever you are/go!

awwwwwww pokersloper....that's sad. let's brighten it up a bit:

^^^^^Good idea, pokersloper, keep your head in the sand and you won't have to see or smell cigarette smokers!

MeredithB,

Have a nice day.

damn! ciggies must be good if that dude is willing to do that!

That's right, this what is going to happen to every smoker, or so you believe, and you probably believe it will happen to you by having your neighbors smoke waft into your living room.

This is why the anti-smoking lunatics are lunatics. Just as the anti-abortion lunatics are lunatics.

Get a grip. Send that to your politician.

Stop trying to control other people lives who maybe bothering your preciousness but who are doing nothing illegal.

Agreed.

Smokers have selfish feelings of oppression and entitlement.

I agree, and the tobacco industry profits from feeling of entitlement.

It is all about profit.

You can get a ticket for driving without a seat belt yet you can buy cigarettes.

Profit? You mean the profit the government derives from all the taxes on tobacco.

It's they who make the laws, not the tobacco industry.

Get real.

MeredithB,

Tobacco gives money to politicians, tobacco stays legal, tobacco gets taxed, tobacco makes tons of money anyway. suck it up and have a nice day.

Get real.

How much "influence" does the tobacco industry have on the government?

and

I think most of that tax money gets spent on anti-tobacco ads and paying for the hospitalization and funeral costs of uninsured smokers.

MeredithB,



Tobacco kills.

i hate ice cream. i can't stand it. the way it drips on sidewalks and gets on my shoes. the way it makes my fingers sticky. the way it makes young children look silly with it all over their faces. the way that it makes people fat and costs all of us money in healthcare costs. the way it gives me brain-freeze when i eat too much.

BAN ICE CREAM!!

But it is not addicting and nobody is having 20 or 40 or 60 cones a day.

So does the pharmaceutical industry which is responsible for much meth-amphetamine being produced, so does the petroleum industry which is responsible for much of the greenhouse gases, so does the alcohol industry which is responsible for all the drunks killing people on the roads.

But I guess those things don't bother you...yet.

Ban everything!

Bullshit.

If anything, it's paying for the hospitalization and funeral costs of all the uninsured, not just smokers.

That all might be true, but the subject of this thread is the litter caused by smokers.
