soj Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 Last year, a person smoking in his home was sued by his neighbor. The court and that person agreed to ban him from smoking in his home because the 2nd hand smoke would come out of his window, into his neighbors window and cause bodily harm to his neighbor.

DETROIT Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 ha this is a joke!Let's ban junk food, better yet, there should be a 50% tax on all McDonald's, candy, soda, etc. That stuff kills more people and makes more people unhealthy than cigarette smoking does.

cosmokid Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 what politician would ever speak up for the rights of smokers? NONE. its political suicide.smokers are a minority group, but the only minority group that it is acceptible to pass these laws against.if 10% of the people in the country smoked and they put to vote a ban to ALL smoking anywhere, what non-smoker would vote no? None.there is no protection for smokers. smokers need their own naacp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
