Not only do the ask if you smoke if you have a heart attack, badder cancer. I bet anything you come down with smoking had something to do with it. My father started smoking at age 15. The Doctors and others said it finally caused his death, at the age of >>>>81 My mother had a cough the other day, she is 93 and it is reported that it is from second hand smoke. (He never smoked in the house for some 30 years or in the car.) So this “second hand” smoke had to be some 40 years ago.

The moral police want Abdul to cease smoking or sign away any rights to subsidized by the public health care. Nice dodge on avoiding the point. The problem with society is that they will treat Abdul at their expense because they are civilized and view him as a victim. So, the good Samaritan, would he have been so had the fellow found on the road been a self abuser, a cutter, and the maker up of stories about being robbed and left by the road? The tobbaco suits against the tobbaco companies suggest that when the cancer comes Abdul will be blaming the companies for an unsafe product. The Samaritan today suggests the good news that there is some evidence that ceasing the use of this substance(s) can, in a few short years, have the body repair itself to almost as good as new. One of the first questions heart attack victims are asked is if they are a smoker. Why do you suppose they ask that when they do? Currently on the moral scene, smokers are free riders since it is not possible to have them pay as they go (although a death tax on them might be useful if they had any money).

This big issue has been around for years now. I have a better idea for the anti smokers who think they can tell a business owner how to run his business. If they are really true to the cause they will try to get the ban of all tobacco sales in Marion County. But its true, that the government wants keep selling tobacco for the taxes but tell you where you can smoke. Since I have all but stop smoking I figure that the state has lost about $350 in taxes.

You're making an argument to ban cigarettes. That's fine. But as long as they are legal an owner of the private business should be making the decision on whether to allow people to light up. Nobody is forcing customers to remain in a smoking establishment.

At least being around alocholics is not as bad as breathing someone's smoke. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Cars burn carcinogens. Shall we ban them? Have you banished all cars from your property?

If I was Fidel Castro I'd be worried. But I don't think a cigar a week is going to be the death of me.
