| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01  | OK, why don't they just make smoking illegal? I heard that a county in Maryland just passed a law which makes it possible to impose a $750 fine if your smoke offends your neighbor. Some quote somewhere (sorry for the lack of details) was something along the lines of it's not illegal to smoke in your house, as long as it doesn't cross your property line. It's bad enough that smoking is already banned in most public places, but now smokers could face a fine even if they're smoking in their home? This law was put into place because of indoor air quality standards, and they say that smoking is like other pollutants (like asbestos). Well if smoking is in fact that bad for you, and 2nd hand smoke is just as bad for your neighbor, why is it legal? You can't compare it to drinking being legal, because drinking only does damage to the person doing it. I guess that would be a 2nd FU - to the government and health care system (never mind tobacco companies) because they want it legal. They make money from it, and the health care system would be overwhelmed if all those who died from smoking didn't actually die anymore. In the end it's cheaper to let people smoke and die from it than it is to have people who don't smoke and live longer. Anyway, back to my original rant, the law is ridiculous. If smoking is legal, smokers shouldn't be fined for doing it somewhere where it is legal to do so. And if it's so bad, make it illegal. Fucking politicians. I'm done *lights cigarette and walks outside* | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | So now to the old list of MYLF's flaws (I don't remember exactly what they were, but argumentative and low sex drive seem familiar) I must now add cigarette breath and a habit of writing mile long FUs. I think it's time to send a picture or I start lobbying to change the name to YENTA. ************************************************* quote: Make it into a T-shirt and you'll make a small fortune.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | The Surgeon General has determined that, since the nose filters pullutants better than the mouth, everyone must now smoke by inserting the cigarette into the nasal cavity. Anyone found smoking orally and not nasally will be fined $500,000. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Your pleasure in life is to smoke cigarettes. The residue of your cigarette is smoke and ash, correct. It gets in my hair, clothes and makes me cough like crazy. I like to drink beer, the residue of my beer is urine, can I whip my dick out and spray all over your hair and clothes?? I think not. So why is it OK for you to do so to me. PS-By the way, I am an ex-smoker.  E-Mail Me This message was edited by Kingpin on 11-21-01 @ 2:22 PM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | quote: Yes and no. With the exception of a bar, and some smoking sections in a restaurant, there is no public place that I know of where you can smoke. Personally, since I don't get out that much (because of 2 little kids) I only smoke at home (outside always)and in my car (if nobody else is in it). None of my friends smoke so we're never in the smoking section of a restaurant. As far as urinating on me, no thank you. And altough you may not spray me with urine, drunks do have a tendency to spray spit when they talk, especially when they're spitting out total BS. And as ladi pointed out, drinking is not always just harmful to the drinker quote: Anyway, my FU was to this ridiculous law, I don't deny that smoking is harmful to others, but the law is absurd. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | It's real simple. The second your smoke leaves your property it fucks up the quality of my air. I do not want the quality of my air fucked up, especially since I quit smoking. So I'll thank you very much to keep your smoke to yourself.quote:Explain please. People who die from smoking generally take a long time doing it, thus tying up health care resources for many years. quote:I'm an ex-smoker and I work on an oncology unit - top that! :)  This space for sale. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Aug. 01 | Ladi, may I say how much I love you for posting that Denis Leary link? Anyhoo, I smoke...albeit in the VERY limited areas I still can. If you don't smoke and you're at a bar or a strip club...deal with it!!! Too fucking bad. Guess what, when I didn't smoke, it never really bothered me to be around smokers for a limited amount of time. It's a bar, not church. Although, how much cooler would church be if you could eat the body of Christ, drink His blood, and then light one up and sing a psalm.

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | And on top of it all, didn't the World Health Organization determine that there is no evidence to support the theory that second hand smoke causes illness in people? Which makes all the "protection" rationale behind these laws so much hooey? Did I just type hooey? I don't smoke, and really the biggest annoyance from it is my clothes reek after a night out like Wednesday. Once again, the government appeases a few loudmouthes and forces a new revenue stream on the backs of law-abiding citizens. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! You're reading this sig with antici  pation.
