Tabacco smoke that bad? Oh come on.?

Question

A person has a right not to smoke. A person has a right to smoke. Especially if it is a cigar every now and then. I only smoke cigars on evenings Thursday through Sunday. So, these goody to shoe sissy politicians and locals think they are created better since they don't smoke. Especially at a bar in Colorado.
Oh ya, it's the second hand smoke. Then maybe we should outlaw everything else flamable. No buring incense, no campfire, no cars even. Don't even think about telling me that these other types of fire only have carbon dioxide/monoxide in the produced smoke. 99% of materials that can burn have many and I mean many chemicals in them. Wood extracts natural minerals in the soil. Boron for instance. This is not good at all to inhale. It is found in wood. So, better put out the campfires. Maybe we should ban firefighters from putting out forest fires. Too much second hand smoke huh? Too many wusses today.

You non-smoking must not like freedom either. You think the government should tell the bar owner that no one can smoke just so you can go in their and load up on the those sugary long island ice teas. Your happy, but you don't give a da** about anyone else.

You think the smell is bad, then don't raise kids when they are babies.

Answer 1

A person would have to sit in a 10ft. by 10ft. room with 20 smokers for 10 years non-stop to have their health affected by second hand smoke. the Non-smokers are trying to gain control of your freedoms and smoking is just the start. next is beer, then bad movies, then what car you can own, then what kind of dog you can own. it's all about control. fight it with all you have.When nonsmokers start talking about clean air rights they are wrong because if they drive a car or use electricity they put harmful smoke in the air also. so ban cars and coal burning power plants first then go to smoking once that's done.

Answer 2

Your analogy to campfires and incense is misplaced.

Let's say I'm going to pour a glass of some liquid into the storage bottle of a drinking fountain. One glass has apple juice. One glass has vinegar. One glass has cyanide. Are you really going to tell me those are all the same? The toxic chemicals released in the smoke of modern cigarettes has been known for decades to cause massive harm to those exposed to it. Show me the same statistical results for second-hand incense or second-hand campfire smoke and I'll believe your analogy.

Also, there's a big difference in choosing to sit around a campfire, and being forced to inhale second hand smoke in a restaurant. If I've just sat down to dinner in the restaurant, and someone in the next table over lights up, I either suffer with the smoke or abandon my dinner. No such forced choice with the campfire, which is also outside rather than in an enclosed area.

A person has the right not to have their air polluted. A person does not have the right to pollute the air. That's established law going back centuries, so it's nothing new to apply it to cigarettes.

If you want to smoke in the privacy of your own home, I'm all for that. You have the right to cause as much damage to yourself as you want. And whether I agree with smoking or not, I'll fight for your legal rights to use whatever substance you want, in private.

But that doesn't extend to your right to put those poisons into the air of everyone else around you in a public place.

Answer 3

I'm with you about the cars! I have asthma and let me tell ya I get behind some of them diesels and I have an attack. You can't tell me they ain't bad!
No I didn't mess your point but what I was saying is that people are always so quick to blame some one else and not look at themselves and what they are doing. As long as they are happy then who cares!

Answer 5

Its easy to attack tobacco....And now there is so much public presion to do so....But sure I understand you frustration, I smoke too.

The problem is that they know fluor in water lower I.Q. but they still put it in our water, and the Aids the was CREATED, and spreaded, and so much more, so to be persecuted for a poison THEY SELL US is ridiculous. Must be safe if itMs ok to sell...no ?
Mouhahahaha....so un-true.....
