You can drive your SUV up to the same buliding that produces more polutants inside of 60 seconds than I will in 10 minutes tho.<\/p>\n<p>You can drive your SUV with no tickets.<\/p>\n<p>If you smoke you can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re now an outcast to society.  WHO VOTED FOR THIS?!<\/p>\n<p>Faciist non-smoking pigs.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t really explain to a non-smoker that people are still going to die.  It&#8217;s like talking to a brick wall.  Non smokers just don&#8217;t get it.  They don&#8217;t get what it&#8217;s like to be pushed outside to like a dog.  Forced to bare the elements.  If it&#8217;s 100 degrees, or -20 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>You are now a dog smoker.  You are now someone that the non-smokers look down on as weak.  Even their non-smoking propaganda points to you and calls you weak.<\/p>\n<p>I think it should be the right of the buisness as to allow smoking or not smoking.  I think that clubs like the Anchor Club &#8211; An AA club &#8211; should be allowed smoking or non smoking.<\/p>\n<p>It should be up to the oranization to allow\/disallow smoking. NOT YOU CITY COUNCIL.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this, society cares less about you cheating on your spouse.<\/p>\n<p>Sure there are laws that say you&#8217;re not supposed to have sex with other people outside of marrige, but are there any laws against it??  Do you get fined for it?<\/p>\n<p>Do you get fined for spreading a disease if you leave the bar without your spouse?  NO!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to make a prediction.  In the next 10 years more people are going to die from STDs than smoking.<\/p>\n<p>WHY!?<\/p>\n<p>Well mostly because smokers will no longer be able to smoke.  So the&#8217;ll take up another addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Sex addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, someone you know has an affiar, and you&#8217;re a non-smoker.  It&#8217;s  5 second thought &#8230; ooo that was bad.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re a non-smoker, and you sit 10 feet way from someone like me you get this scoul on your face from the stench.  You&#8217;re bitching about it for a week.<\/p>\n<p>Why can&#8217;t we be allowed to be humans?  Why must we be treated like dogs?  Why must we be treated like we&#8217;re less than human?<\/p>\n<p>It hurts.  It hurts really bad.<\/p>\n<p>Pollution is everywhere.  People die.  Get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Why not allow smoking rooms at least?   Why not give the buisness the opportunity to cater to their smoking customers.<\/p>\n<p>Why are we such a thret?<\/p>\n<p>WHY?!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I smoke.
