Rich, the only reason cigarrettes aren't outright banned right now is
the tobacco lobby still has enough money and clout to stop it. I am
one of those rabid anti-smokerists. I watched my uncle, father and
mother all die from smoking related disease, and buried my older
brother when he just dropped dead from a heart attack. All were
heavy smokers, who thought that "It won't happen to me" and "I am too
addicted to quit" You have just been lucky so far...
A total ban on cigarettes won't stop older brothers dropping dead from
heart attacks. We still see that 100% of us dies, sooner or later. You
can change the pie-chart, but it will always be a full circle.

There are some really bad ways of dying, cancer, going demented,
non-fatal but severe brain-strokes and what have you.

Now we are focussing on smoking, but when it eventually gets banned,
what have we won? I don't see undertakers running out of business.

This essentially proves my point - that antismokerism is a religion,
plain and simple.

No it isn't - it's simpler than that. I don't want your stink in my
face.
End of story.


Not a problem, but when you pass laws that ban me from smoking even in
places you wouldn't go into anyway, you're overstepping the line. How
hysterical are you antis anyway?

Thanks,
Rich
