yeah, it might even get to a point where you have to buy them from a condom inside a southern americans gut.
Oh, and you know you will.

No, but the second-hand smoke thing is highly glorified. In situations like that, I'm all for a restaurant having a smoking/non-smoking area, but again that's the restaurant's choice.Originally Posted by Takara
If I'm in a small room where you're allowed to smoke, and I was on the opposite side, it might bother me. But I'm against the idea that if someone is smoking in a mile radius that you are dying from it. I also dislike legislation against smoking, or rather, limiting the rights of owners of say, restaurants and forcing them to not allow their clientele to smoke.
The problem there is unless the place is huge.. or has different rooms for smokers and non-smokers.. well the smoking and non-smoking sections are jokes. Recall osmosis. the smoke travels to the non smoking area. so it ruins the whole idea.
and whilst the whole there will be a non-smoking place deall.. well may work in big cities.. but not in little places. This debate has already happened though.. So I guess I should stop. :rolleyes2
However, forcibly removing them would be wrong. I don't care if it is regulated(I prefer it actually) but taking it away I don't aggree with. If they want to poison themselves they can.. as long as it is only themselves.
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
Ever heard of Prohibition? Yeah, that's about what would happen.
I am not a smoker. I am against smoking. I am against smoking in public places. I don't like it when people smoke around me. I think smoking is stupid and there exists no rational reason for people to smoke. However, I would be against the prohibition of cigarettes.
It doesnt even really matter anyway. The Goverment's never gonna get rid of it, because they get so much money off of the tobacco industry.
Or because it'd be wrong.
it's only wrong in the same way outlawing crack and heroine is wrong. and not selling alcohol to 9 year olds.
it would create a black maket and the government would collect les taxes. but less taxes would be used up on smokers with cancer. and that could be spent making life harder for the folk running the black market.
people would be better off.
For once, you're absolutely right. None of those should be illegal, either.it's only wrong in the same way outlawing crack and heroine is wrong. and not selling alcohol to 9 year olds.
People would be better off if soda and fast food were outlawed, too.people would be better off.
i meant the folk that smoked them.
and yeah raistlin lets make crack available for all the kids. that would be a cool society.
See, we're of the opinion that the individual is more important than society. Their choice to be a crackhead supercedes society's right to prevent them from it.
I thought liberals were for the legalization of recreational drugs? I guess Cloud's out of the socialist loop.
Naw, Liberals in Europe are for whatever suits their nanny-statist agenda best.
Smoking should be forbiden, its a soft drug, but a drug notheless.
Why should any drugs be banned? After all, we let people motivate two tons of metal at speeds of seventy miles per hour (And we don't crack down on lawbreakers until they reach like 100mph); are you telling me these people are capable of that, but incapable of deciding for themselves what they put into their bodies?
Like Raistlin said, I can only envisage a set of affairs similar to the Prohibition era. Although if I was a smoker and that happened, I'd probably call it a day and give up. Bit pointless wasting all that effort trying to get black market cigarettes unless you really do need them that badly.
