Smokers have just as much rights as you do. Nobodies standing six inches from you blowing smoke directly into your face.
[QUOTE=Latency;28187976]Well I don't feel like doing shit for someone who demonizes me for no good reason, so we're even. Carry on with your life.[/QUOTE] Assuming you are a smoker I demonize you for being a fucking fool, smoking poison and funding murderers. Carrying on with my life.
I actually agree with this ban. Smoking should be banned overall. It does no good. And unlike alcohol, it doesn't even make you "social".
Can we just ban McDonald's already? Please for the love of God ban fast food. I stopped eating fast food these past 3 months, and eliminated high fructose corn syrup completely and I lost 15lbs.
Why couldn't they just ban it in outdoor public places where there's normally a lot of people. I mean seriously if someone smokes in the middle of a park where few people are around, no one's gonna give 2 shits. Though I do like it, it's a start for people to live better lives.
Because obviously banning McDonald's makes just as much sense as banning cigarettes. Lets go ahead and ban alcohol and cars now because people use those irresponsibly too.

I've also stopped eating fast foods and pretty much stopped eating high fructose corn syrup as well.
I wonder what would have happened if I added exercise to that. I'd be one sexy fit beast. I'm 5'9" and weighed 150lbs. I weighed myself this morning and I weighed this morning at 135lbs.
[QUOTE=RagingHadron;28188000]Assuming you are a smoker I demonize you for being a fucking fool, smoking poison and funding murderers. Carrying on with my life.[/QUOTE] Finally you admit outright that you demonize smokers. We're not normal people, right? We should be treated like scum because of the circumstances that led us to start smoking? Just FYI, when I see a person with their baby or young kid walking towards me while I'm smoking, I cross to the other side of the street, for [I]them[/I]. When I'm waiting at a bus stop, I stand outside it and smoke downwind from the other people waiting, for [I]them[/I]. When I light up outside a building, I stand far away from the door, even in the winter, so that other people don't have to smell it. All I'm saying is you should learn to deal with the people who aren't as polite, instead of punishing even the considerate people who go to these areas to smoke. By the way, every time I've made a point all you did was change the reason you hate smokers. That's not how to make an argument get anywhere.

South Dakota passed this law last voting period. No smoking in public places, which includes your car on public streets..
[QUOTE=Mac2468;28188060]Because obviously banning McDonald's makes just as much sense as banning cigarettes. Lets go ahead and ban alcohol and cars now because people use those irresponsibly too.[/QUOTE] It makes more sense than banning marijuana.

[QUOTE=Latency;28188185]A private car is a public place? :wtc:[/QUOTE] The streets are apparently a public place.
Smoking makes you cool :downs: No really. Someone name one good thing smoking does for you.
[QUOTE=redBadger;28188214]Smoking makes you cool :downs: No really. Someone name one good thing smoking does for you.[/QUOTE] That's not relevant. Name one good thing drinking soda does for you? You can drink way healthier stuff so lets ban soda. See? Doesn't really apply here.
[QUOTE=collegegrad;28188169]It makes more sense than banning marijuana.[/QUOTE] Japan makes more sense than banning marijuana.
This is silly, they're right to ban smoking indoors but outdoors ? what the fuck. that's like the first step to completely ban it.
[QUOTE=Latency;28188228]That's not relevant. Name one good thing drinking soda does for you? You can drink way healthier stuff so lets ban soda. See? Doesn't really apply here.[/QUOTE] Soda, even though not as healthy as some other stuff, reduces thirst. Fast food reduces hunger. Cigarettes reduce what? Oh right, lifespan. There is no point in smoking cigarettes, especially in public. No one other than me gets affected by me drinking soda, people around me do get affected by my smoke.
Is there any evidence to suggest a significant amount of damage is done by second hand smoke outside? As far as i'm aware of there isn't any this this law is devoid of any meaning.

[QUOTE=RagingHadron;28188341]Typical smoker confronted with his/her addiction. Soda hydrates you.[/QUOTE] No it doesn't.

[QUOTE=RagingHadron;28188341]Typical smoker confronted with his/her addiction. Soda hydrates you.[/QUOTE] I'd rather smoke lightly than drink Soda all the time.
Britain is already a Nanny state :smug:...:suicide:
