Re the Smoking Debate, I protest the loss of my freedom to breathe fresh air inside and outside, thanks to ir-

Question

rational smokers! Why do smokers feel they can take away a basic freedom from people who only want to live sanely and in a healthy manner?

(Note: Outside air may be contaminated, but never as much as when you are breathing the direct smoke of a stinky poisonous cigarette!)

Answer 1

I wouldn't complain.  If you live in or have visited NY state you would realize smokers no longer have any freedom.

Answer 2

Nobody's going to smoke in your house. There is no freedom to have someone else's house be free of smoke just because you would prefer it to be.

Freedom is when you have control over what is yours and other people have control over what is theirs. If you don't like the fact that someone else's home or business has smoke in it, exercise your freedom not to go into it. Don't take away their freedom to what they want with their home or their business.

Answer 3

I 100% agree....if they want to smoke in there home or car fine...but not in front of me please....my husband just quit in January and even before he quit he had to go outside or in the car....never in front of me...I have had it where they blow smoke in my face to like prove something...I am not sure what...I however think smoking should be allowed in bars as long as they have a good ventilation system....

Answer 4

While you're at it, remove all fats, car exhaust, minorities, liberal media, cat hairballs, baby boogers, and whiny liberals that think they can control everything and have the right to NEVER be offended.

I'll smoke in public, when and where I wish.

If you disapprove, you will be charged and arrested for interfering with my right to participate in a LEGAL activity.

By me.

Painfully (I hope).

If you are armed (IN ANY WAY) I will "introduce" you to my Second Amendment Rights.

You might survive.
