TA, One could argue that alcohol does affect other people when someone who drinks gets behind the wheel and kills a family of 4. Obesity affects us only in the wallet as the insurance costs to cover the diabetes rages out of control. Just food ( no pun intended) for thought.

My final question TA is can you gauntee me that if I where to agree with you and support the current ban that it will stop there and not come into my home? Problem is, you can't and that is why people fight so hard against a ban that doesnt even really affect them.

I prefer real science to political science and can only take Hannity in small doses. European science does not bite off US political science in the matter of asbestos or second hand smoke. Most scientists don't believe in Global Warming either in spite of your expected comment that that debate is over, science has decided it, only dolts and the unwashed would hold a contrary opinion. I'd suggest that you read more science or books I recommend to you vetted of course by recommending only books I have read. Palin's book will be in that catagory by day's end but I've read enough of it to know that she is no flash in the pan but a substantial person of accomplishment, real accomplishments unlike, say, Indiana's current senators.

Pascal, I read plenty. You're in denial. And hopelessly lost in Hannityland.

Breast implants/legal nonsense: is a subject on which you and I might agree. But we're talking asbestos and cig smoke pollutants. The science is decided on those pollutants. Definitively.

Try to keep up, huh?

Live long enough, TA, or read more, and you will find that lawyer scams abound and asbestos is one of them. The hysteria about it is only in America. What was the scam that made John Edwards rich? Why can't ladies with morning sickness obtain the ideal drug for it in America (where it is no longer sold)? Want to defend lawyer science on breast implants? Quacks and thieves generally don't really want science and one wonders about the incidence of “black lung” among non smokers.

The issue is not about infringing on Abdul's rights as a smoker. The rights you're infringing on is the property owner. Anyone who claims this is about smoker or nonsmoker's rights is terribly misguided.

Abdul: Could you host a panel or show of people who have never smoked but are thinking about starting?
