Should smoking be banned in public places?

Yep, beep, just like the Roadrunner. Of course we cannot move as fast as the Roadrunner to get away from government intrusion and anything that causes cancer.

 

I think Martha Stewart has the same thing as Peaches, a black chow and a cinnamon chow. I haven't seen her with the black one for a long time.

 

I heard that Urine and beer are great for washing your hair. I'm sticking with shampoo, being half bald I ain't too worried about it! :mrgreen:

 

Hey, I figure if most everything causes cancer then why not enjoy life by doing things you like, that are legal (at the moment).

 

True, I am not sure I would enjoy life as a 93 pound individual that was terrified of everything I ate or came in contact with.

 

no, I just dpon't bathe.... maybe that's why my wife left me....

 

hmmmmm...note came home from the school today saying that tabacco products of any kind will no longer be allowed anywhere on school grounds. Signs will be posted shortly. The reason cited is twofold...1. deterring addiction by not allowing the kiddos see teachers and parents smoking and 2. the health effects of second hand smoke. Your tax dollars support these schools...whats your opinion?

 

Isn't there already a no smoking ban on school property?? I agree with it anyhow.

 

in this case I agree with it. It is an irrefutable fact that cigarettes cause cancer. Any adult has the right to smoke if they choose. I am a non smoker but i work in bars and restaurants and therefore expose myself to dangerous second hand smoke. It is my choice as an adult.

But neither you, I or teachers have the right to make that choice for a child.

Now once they're adults if they choose to intravenously inject liquid drano and cocaine it's their business, much less smoke. ONCE THEY'RE ADULTS.

 

:iagree: Absoultely! I thought there was a smoking ban on school grounds also but apparantly not. I was interested in the opinion of the previous posters who believe their right to smoke shouldnt be curtailed on any public property.

 

To think that I voted for you in '06 makes me want to vomit!

 

Should smoking be banned in public places? Where is everybody? Bring it on!!!

 

Bring it on big guy!

 

I already said no. :mrgreen:

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

 

To each his own

 

You know who I am, and I know who you are. You ran for the state senate in '06 and I voted for you. My wife died from second hand smoke and you (IDIOT) are making a JOKE of it. Do you understand where I am coming from?

 

Love ya Girl, but ya need to back off! Got a nice Chow Chow Fridg magnet for ya! Got it off ebay. you know where I live. Just 4 U !

 

I know where you live? Do I know you really? Are you a stalker? :lol:

 

Yeah, I thought there was already a No Tobacco policy on school grounds. There's no ashtrays, but I have seen coffee cans outside the doors at the end of the wings before - but you know what? If I had to deal with 25 of my sons at once, I'd be out there smoking, too. I could really care less, I consider myself a pretty light smoker - it's no big deal for me to not smoke in carpool and the two hours before and after carpool. I don't know if it is effective, but it can't hurt. I guess I really have no opinion on it.

As far as not smoking in public goes, I do not support that. It is PUBLIC. OUTDOORS. I can respect not smoking indoors, I don't smoke in my own home but give me break. A non-smoker can walk away, or stand upwind, and most smokers are pretty curteous. See, it is an easy solution... JUST MOVE. But no, a smoker's rights are infringed upon to be told "NO smoking at this public spot" because some whiner does not want to take steps towards their own happiness. They have to take away your happiness. I would not support any laws or policy governing smoking outdoors in public, whatever happened to our inalienable rights? Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I mean really, who owns the freaking air outside? What's next? Ban farting?
