Rush Limbaugh has been airing reports saying that second-hand smoke is not dangerous and can even be benefical to non-smokers. I don’t know about that last part, but I have long wondered about all the government grants that have come out over the years on the subject of second-hand smoke. It seems to me that anyone that got such a grant knew going into it what kind of conclusion was politically correct. Anyone who said anything other than how harmful it was would have been discredited and banned from getting any more grants. Using second-hand smoke was the excuse used to get smoking banned in so many places. T
As a 90% non-smoker…(I smoke cloves when drinking)
Fuck them in the goat ass, these whinging, militatant bullshit whiner cocksuckers need to be smothered under the collective ass-flab of the world. Now bars are starting to ban cloves, as if they’re any more offensive. Probably cause some moldy ass-hair like you ran into whined about them.
There’s fucking arsenic in the water, smog in the air, roach legs in our food and these fuckers have to get in your face just and tell you how you’re killing them. We’re all dying everyday, fuckrag, at least let me enjoy it.
This puss licking maggot you ran into has just bought into the “non-smoking” fad". It’s mindless herd behavior, combined with this victim-mentality bullshit. For fucks sake, you can’t smoke blody anywhere as it is, and you’re gonna get on my case 'cause I’m smoking OUTSIDE? Go tell the fucking power station to stop pumping nitrogen hydroxide into the fucking air while your at it. ggrrrrrr
I used to be an anti-smoker. I don’t know what happened, Just one day I realized how out of hand the whole thing has gotten. I think the anti-tobacco people have even less integrity than the tobacco companies, and it’s nowhere near as dangerous as they make it sound (or as fun & healthy as the mfrs make it sound).
I want to smash my TV every time I see one of those thetruth.com commercials, but then I realize it would be much more satisfying to throttle one of the kids that works on it.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like smoke, but as long as I’m not in a posted no-smoking area, I deal. The only time it really bothers me is when the smoke is really thick and I’m with my GF. Since she recently quit, she’s having a really hard time with it. So if moving out of the way isn’t an option, I’ll ask very nicely if the smoker would mind easing up a bit. If they’re nice in return (even if the answer is no) then no big deal.
If we’re in a POSTED no smoking area, or they’re hostile in return for my politeness, well then, I’m completely able to switch to asshole mode for a few minutes. 
But Mr. Cynical, I totally understand where you’re coming from. I think smokers and gun owners should band together to fight the propaganda machine and institutionalized prejudice, since they use the same tactics against both products: [list=1][li] Vilify it in pop media, [] Try to pass laws banning it, [] Sue the users, [] Sue the manufacturers, until [] Somewhere down the line it becomes too expensive to continue.[/list=1][/li]Really shitty if you ask me.
Fucking poetic Mr C.
I am going to remember that for the next asshole that pulls that crap on me!
Fucking beautiful!
I just recently quit and there’s nothing I love than being downwind of someone smoking. I walk through my co-worker’s smoke clouds on purpose, inhaling all the while. I’ve even been known to pick up a pack of smokes sitting on a desk, open the box and take a deep whiff.
Sigh. I miss smoking.
Oh, yeah, I had a point: Cyni, just come smoke around me 
Ah yes, the sweet smell of tobacco. I love it, when it’s from a distance. It smells like incense sometimes.
However, when I’m fifty feet away, and on the downside of a 10 knot breeze, I doubt that anyone upwind of me will get to enjoy or dislike it. It just won’t be there.
