Merged Smoking should be banned universally

[mikeyx]

when you lose, cry troll and run away, you don;t even want to try and oppose the topic, you try to derail it. sad

 

[bikerdruid]

no. smoking should not be banned.
like smoking pot, it is a victimless 'crime'.
in a country where we have socialized medical care, however, the taxes on tobacco should be massive.

the price that pot sells for ($200-250/ounce) seems fair for tobacco too.

We share the road with pot heads. My roommate in the Navy drove his car into oncoming traffic and he later admitted he felt he had a disability because of all the pot he smoked in highschool.

Some of the things you say deserve to be on a plack mounted on my wall. Like this one:

"no. smoking should not be banned. like smoking pot, it is a victimless 'crime'."

WRONG. The smoker is the victim. In fact, cigarettes are the only product you can by that, when used as directed, will kill you.

second hand smoke is indirect delayed muder. you're placing money other and lives under the disguise of liberty. sad and appalling.

So many folks here ready to force others to act the way they wish - little dictators. I don't feel I have any right to dictate how others act, beyond prohibitions against harm to and infringement of reciprocal rights. Even the idea of using the tax system for the purpose of to influencing behavior is a sort of government coercion I don't agree with.

To force people into a public health system, then to use this as an excuse to control peoples individual behavior as health cost related is one of the most egregious power grabs and losses of individual freedom imaginable. Only the most liberty-hating could condone this idea.

 

[Bill Thompson]

This is just a little off topic in a way, but, at the same time, not worthy of a seperate discussion thread, I think.

Half of the gay guys I have meet are really into smoking pot. I wonder what the deal is with that. Is it because of society or what?

so are you a hippy, a smoker, or a yuppy who puts money before life? I have to think that forced relocation of yuppies out of suburban sprawl is also a good idea, forced education into greener living and urban diversity would do them good.

With the smokers all in jail and fatties and hippies rounded up, the world is looking better.

i know very few gay guys in my area.
however, i literally know hundreds of pot smokers in our area.
i would safely say that about half of people 15-55 in alberta smoke pot, or at least have smoked , or occasionally accept a toke.

It's called living under a bridge and occasionally eating those who try to cross it (see picture posted earlier).

 

[bottsranzee]

What are we supposed to do after sex if smoking was banned?

are you calling mikeyx a troll?

I would never! Stop that!

A bit.

 

[Foster Zygote]

Mikeyx is just trolling for conflict. He does this sort of thing quite frequently.

 

[slingblade]

Yes you do, because you smoke and smell it from here.

If that's your new toy line for the holidays, you may want to talk to your marketing department...

 

[Skepticemea]

Uh, with no hair metal comes no Queensryche. I must object.

You see to the heart of it, NoahFence. It would also mean no Poison or Motley Crue, but those are acceptable losses if Vow Wow were to be blanked from the pages of history.

By that logic, driving a car is indirect delayed murder as well.

Oh, so is serving fatty foods.

 

[Skepticemea]

I have no issues with that beyond it being slightly off topic.

Is it? You want to legislate against something because you don't like it. I thought it was bang on topic.
