As a life-long smoker myself (pipe last few years having quit ciggies,) while I don't like smoking restrictions, I'm sympathetic to non-smoker's rights not to have to smell or breathe in second-hand smoke. While I'm not familar with the science of second-hand smoke, for me it's moot. It's a matter of politeness and consideration for those around me, especially when kids are about. I vividly recall how I often felt being around my Mom and Dad both smokers and it wasn't pleasant. So if a park or other locale wants to forbid smoking, long as there's somewhere I can go I'm ok with it.
At the same time, I'm not allowed to ask the stupid people to shut the fuck up and stop wasting air. It would be polite if they would refrain from asking dumb questions, saying stupid shit or acting out like dullards. Yet, i'm forced to endure them or lock myself in at home.
Crazy world, right?
Oh....wonderful.....you probably just gave the Liberals another idea....
...to ban or tax "asking dumb questions, saying stupid shit or acting out like dullards"....
...or both.
Cause we all know that conservatives do not do either. Rogers, Ark. Highest cost of living and taxed area of all Arkansas.
