There were more than a dozen people that were discomfitted by one inconsiderate smoker. Who speaks for them? Obviously they generally won't speak for themselves. Do they deserve to be poisoned?

I get your point, I am not pro government nosesticking. I also know that while SOME smokers may be considerate MANY are not. Why should I or anyone have to tolerate this? Wanna smoke? Cool. Go someplace where YOUR habit won't bother ANYONE.

You won't find me going into a cigar bar and telling those turdpuffers to stop, they've been, at the least and perhaps unintentionally, considerate enough to isolate themselves in places that do NOT cater to nonsmokers.
Wes it is always a joy to have a conversation with you. Hope you are well it has been a while.
Now back to the subject.
What I have failed to mention is what I do believe in. I believe in the power of the people. If smoking is that big of a health issue then we the people need to take the steps to eliminate it all together or limit it's use...that i do agree with. Similar to alcohol. Believe it or not we still have some counties in Mississippi that do not allow the sale of liquor. It was done by the people not the government. But telling Government to fix it, looses us our freedom.
