Illinois Smoking Ban

[jmagnus]

Alright, I'm taking off for work *please don't let me get robbed*. Just remember, I originally posted this to spark an intelligent debate between adults. I shouldn't have to say it but don't let this digress into a name calling match. Remember the golden rule and always respect the opinion of others, even if you don't agree.

AlethiaSI,
That is coming next. My boss was telling me that the anti-smoking lobbyists are trying to push that through congress. From what I understand *and don't quote me on this...rumors* it's already illegal in Cali. That is, it's illegal to smoke in your car if you have kids in there....kinda common sense anyways. No one should be doing that in the first place.

Let me leave you with this thought. You may not remember but back in the day there was a website offering quite a bit of money, 1000 i think, for a picture of Obama smoking. Why is it that the worst thing you can be these days is a smoker? Dubya did coke and got a DUI and he still made it to the Office....is smoking cigarettes worse than that?

I don't agree with passing the law, but despite the fact that it's common sense, there are a lot of people lacking sense in this world.

I suspect it's because he's trying to quit smoking. Someone just wants to catch him falling off the wagon. If he'd been an alcoholic it'd be a drink. Obama's admitted to much harder stuff than cigarettes in his past.

So you agree that you shouldn't be allowed to smoke in you car with your kids because of health concerns.........but you think it's ok to smoke indoors in businesses, bars, restaurants, etc. where your second hand smoke is unhealthy to everyone within your vicinity?

I didn't even catch that from the OP.

That makes absolutely no sense at all.
