EU considers county-wide smoking ban
Makes sense, if you think about it. Its more deadly for the people around who AREN'T smoking than the smoker themselves. Its crazy that smokers can mosey into a restaurant or bar and light up next to you, then somehow feel THEY'VE been wronged by your dirty looks and obvious coughing. I'm more than all for this. Smoking in public/crowded places should be banned. Kill youself slowly and stink up your own clothes in your own home, not next to me while I'm eating.

what about your constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness?
if you enjoy smoking as a pastime, what right does the govt have to prohibit you from indulging yourself? perhaps it's not all that great for you, but neither is a Peanut Buster Parfait, but that's not illegal is it? And what about the tobacco farmer? where's his right to earn a living if his product becomes illegal? what if you smoke as part of a religious ceremony? isn't that protected by your right to worship who and how you chose?
i enjoy walking around naked in public, but the gov't doesn't allow that.
it is not a matter of harming yourself, it is a matter of being harmful to everyone else who is not smoking.
The Peanut Buster Parfait analogy only works if there was second-hand fat.
What religion uses cigarettes as a part of their worship. Rastafarianism uses pot, that's the closest I could think of and that is already illegal.
Democrats have introduce legislation for a statewide ban in Iowa. Well done, I say. Let's follow Ireland and ban it countrywide.
Second hand fat, that is all we need , sounds so gross , but is that what beef fat is, fat once to the cow, twice as humans chomp on Whoppers? Kinda funny
Yes, I covered that. No one's saying you can't smoke yourself to death, only that you can't smoke other people around you who DON'T smoke to death. You can do whatever you like in your own home, car, or backyard...
