Smoking ban

There's a big debate about a law inforcing a total ban of smoking in public places in NC. It seems that the people who profit off of others' addiction are trying to block the bill. I'm all for it; it'd be wonderful to go out and listen to a good band without getting up the next morning with a headache and a sore throat from breathing secondhand smoke.

Smokers, think about it; people are taking advantage of you. While you're paying good money to ruin your health and the health of your friends and relatives, tobacco executives are counting their profits and having a good laugh at your expense.

My mother and nephew have asthma and there's no smoking allowed in the house. One fellow acted like we'd insulted him because we asked him to go outside with his cigarette!

Real considerate fellow. Why are smokers usually like this? I've never understood it.

They are no different than any other addict.

We've had a smoke free house since we were married. Angela's allergic, and I'd rather not smell it.

Yeah, my youngest brother smokes, and I won't hang my jacket beside his on the coatrack because the smell transfers.
