Smokers treated like criminals!

[Zeroi]

A group called for the repeal of a gubernatorial decree banning smoking inside buildings, saying the regulation treated smokers as criminals.

I am Ex-Smoker, i don't really wish that they are being treated this way but it is happening
For us, we are now Vapers. I just felt Pity and sorry for the Smokers.

I wandering why is there a Pro-smoking groups.
Will they get Lung Cancer from Smoking tobacco?

I dunno.

Personally, the whole "ban smoking" thing makesno sense to me in a free society. Sure, you might ban it in public buildings, but businesses should be able to choose who they serve and allow smoking.

As a vaper, I suppose it doesn't effect me much since I rarely vape in public.

I also am against this kind of thing- let the owners of a building or establishment decide for themselves and then let customers decide which establishments they choose to frequent.

I am highly against governments legislating every aspect of society.

My God, that kind of attitude is positively un-American! With that kind of thinking, Obamanation will not be able to control our every move.

Well, my attitude certainly wasn't able to stop Dubya and the New Right from creating a secret police and restricting freedom in the US while "bringing freedom" to foreign countries.

Yeah, I can post off-topic political diatribe too.

 

[cappadoc]

Sorry dude, just kidding.

 

[rogerdugans]

No worries man.

If I had really been offended I would have been far worse.

And I apologize to the thread for going off topic too.

Where I live, they ban smoking on the entire college campus, which covers probably a third of the entire town. Yes, you can get a ticket for it, and if caught doing it multiple times, you can serve jail time. Also, if you are caught smoking within 20' of a public entrance (this includes back doors in the alleys) you can suffer the same fate. It's funny too because you can seriously sit in a park and smoke a blunt and cops generally don't do anything about it other than just confiscate it. I personally haven't done this, but I've known a couple people who have and that is exactly what happened to them. So an illegal drug (don't get me started on that subject, and I don't even smoke the stuff) is more acceptable than a legal one it seems, even to law enforcement.

Yea, I wonder what Jerry Brown will do to us when he replaces Arnold...
probably give us an infraction =$100 ticket.. like for smoking pot now
(I don't use any illeagle drugs, but will vape despite laws)
