Tobacco user persecution growing

[Delta4Embassy]

Recent article claimed tobacco use costs employers $6000/year per smoking employee. Various states are considering, or have passed anti-smoking laws, some of which say you can't even smoke in your own home. The persecution of smokers is running amok in the US. And unlike other causes there's no vocal pro-smoking group to protect our rights.

Despite successful attempts to ban smoking on tv by celebrities, many popular celebrities do in fact smoke, some of these include,

Perhaps a pro-smoking campaign needs to happen encouraging smokers to 'come out of the closet' as it were.

Not only are smokers rights being curtailed, there is a concerted effort by government to kill them.

It is all explained here:

emphyzema & COPD are very costly to treat not to mention mouth & throat cancer.

cigars are the worst BTW- ESPECIALLY indoors.

This all started about 30 years ago, when they cited some study that showed that waitresses in smoke-filled restaurants and bars had higher rates of lung cancer. I always thought this was junk science, as waitresses also had high rates of smoking. Anyway it's been getting worse since then. I'm not sure what the end game is. Do they want to make it illegal to make higher profits off all the fines and bribes of a black market? Or is it just part of the trend to make everything illegal to increase the pressure on the people?

There's a lot of harmful shit in the smoke from burning marijuana and cocaine but I don't hear a lot of liberal whining about the dangers of their recreational goodies.

So concerned about lung disease, yet no laws mandating homes and businesses be tested for radon?

It does according to studies. But it's likely more due to the relaxation than anythign inherently to do with the tobacco.

Smokers are free to smoke anywhere that they don't spread their filth to others

"The following is a quote from the US Surgeon General report “Smoking and Health” (No. 1103, page 92) “Among the pipe smokers…The U.S. mortality ratios are 0.8 for non-inhalers and 1.0 for inhalers;”. So what does that mean, their study was using a mortality ratio of 1.0 as the mortality ratio for a non-smoker, and what they found is that pipe smokers that don’t inhale have a slightly lower mortality ratio which means that they live slightly longer. That needs repeating…Pipe smokers that don’t inhale live longer that non-smokers according to that study. This makes it clear that smokers should switch to pipes, it would be a much healthier way to enjoy this natural herb. If you do smoke, keep in mind that smoking a pipe as infrequently as once a day is recommended. It is not recommended that non-smokers start smoking tobacco because of the addictive properties of nicotine."

Ah well, smoking has one thing going for it. It lowers the burden on Social Security.

Meh ... It will be hard to get a lot of folks who will protest in favor of smokers. There have been non-smokers in places such as Norcross, Georgia that appeared at City Council meetings to express the idea personal rights are more important. Norcross repealed their ban.

You just have to remember that a Progressive Liberal believes a woman has the right to do what she wants with her body unless it involves a super-size order of fries and a pack of Marlboro's.

Have a right to do as you please with your body. In the case of pregnant women though, their babies in-vitro aren't 'their body' any more, it's another person's body currently inhabiting your's.

A smoker has no right to blow his smoke on anyone else, especially his/her children.

My parents kept me sick with their smoke, and passed the habit on too.

I did give up cigarettes, but a lot of the damage was done.

Legalization of weed and the hash oil e-joints will solve the problem for weed smokers.

I would never smoke coke, so I have no ideas on that.

Other than it should be legal, and people should be free to OD.

We have plenty of people already anyway.
