Smoke all you want---just not where I can smell it. Your right to smoke does NOT trump my right to clear air. The question of "Rights" has surfaced here. Since Obama has not re-written the Constitution, yet, and if I remember rightly every one has the " Freedom of Choice" and the Right to " Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". If it makes me "happy" to have a smoke and I "choose" to do so, then it is my Constitutional Right. However it is your "choice", if you see me smoking to not get within smoking range. I'm not talking about smoking in confined spaces, the laws have already addressed that problem. But if I am standing outside in the rain, snow, sweltering heat or freezing cold to have a smoke it would be very detrimental to someone's health to walk over to me and start bitching. When it comes to clean air we are all guilty. We run around in our gas guzzlers that dump more toxins in the air in a few hours than a lifetime of smoking would. So if you want cleaner air, ride a bicycle, which I do every chance I get, even to the store to pick up a pack of smokes. ;D |

If we're on public property, then I have just as much of a right to smoke as you do to not smoke.
If we're on private property, then the property owners gives whom what rights. If he says no smoking on the side walk, then that's his right to not let me smoke on the side walk near you.
Otherwise, we're all equal, and all of your rights are just as important as mine.

It makes me happy to beat the hell out of inconsiderate smokers.

Yea, but we allow our politicians to blow smoke up our asses all the time. And we keep electing them.
Go figure.

Other than carpet glue, Sodium Silicate the added "ingredient", is also used in metal and automotive repair and also timber treatment.
When inhaled the side affects are:
A strong alkaline irritant. Inhalation can cause severe irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, extreme coughing, pain in the abdomen, sores in mouth, dry throat, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. High concentrations may cause lung damage. Many people have reported a "copper or metal" taste that is not as enjoyable as the non-FSC cigarettes.
At cheapciggies.com, we offer Non-FSC cigarettes at a fraction of the price and ship them to your doorstep.

I got no dog in this hunt as I am a 16 month reformed smoker. However my thoughts on this and most other things are that unless I am attempting to derive you of life, liberty, or property it's none of your damn business what I do.
Oh and Dutch, the constitution does not mention anything about the pursuit of happiness. That little gem is actually in the Declaration of Indepedence.

The Constitution is predicated upon our inalienable rights outlined in the Declaraton of Independence.

such as "all men are created equal......"
Except if you happen to be a black or a woman. Are those the inalienable rights of which you speak?
