I feel for you on this one, Babs. You wouldn't believe some of the places I've sold over the years. Honestly, the smell can be so overbearing, that its all one can do to keep from puking. Not talking about folks from India here either ... just common, Ameridan White Trash.
Smoking lowers IQ, go figure, I'd have to say that most smokers are kinda lean on IQ to begin with. LOL, this ought to bring out a cloud of smokers. I say ban the substance, tobacco, it is a known carcinogen, then just like pot, the price of illegal tobacco will rise past the affordable stage and smokers will have to grow their own. Can you imagine a grow closet for tobacco, hilarious. Maybe they will just have injectable Nicotine.
We should have laws against child abuse. Child abuse is the violation of the rights of another (the child) to life, liberty and property ... the property being the child itself. Anti-smoking laws are besides the point in my opinion.
Only one problem ... well, a couple of problems with that, Med.
Amazing you want to ban tobacco, but legalize marijuana.
The substance is already pure poison. The hazard is already there. I quit about 15 years ago, Nothing like an ex-smoker to rate smoking.
I say you just skirted the question in order to avoid looking like a hypocrite (yet again).
A child should be able to walk into a store, or a bar ... but if the merchant sells cigarettes or liquor to a child, that's child abuse, is it not? So ... where's the question being skirted?

Perhaps your thought process is a bit shallow?
Is it any wonder the economy is so fucked up? I can just imagine the parasites and tax consumers in the Obama administration sitting around the table bantering back and forth with the convoluted logic just displayed in your last post, doobie. I'll betcha the California state legislature is run the same way too. Just a bunch of Democrat Socialists "tweaking" the nation, all under the glorious cause of "doing what's right for the rest of us."
You have to use the legal definitions Doob, not the Wiki definitions.
1. First off, CA has a Republican governor.
Virginia, where it illegal to have sex with the lights on, or to do it in any other position than the missionary. Where it is illegal to tickle women or use a radar detector. Where you must honk your horn when passing another citizen, AND Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited.
1. First off, CA has a Republican governor.
Does it really matter what label a person goes by, doob? Ahhhnold may be registered as a Republican, but the guy is a socialistic wuss all the way. He's married to a Kennedy fer cryin' out loud.
He's married to a Kennedy, and that makes him a socialist? Wow, your perception of the world is WAY off. Don't you live in CA? According to your logic, that makes you a socialist by association since you live in a state run by a socialist.
2. Second, you have NO idea what a democratic socialist even IS.
A democrat socialist would be a person who thinks he/she knows what is best for "The Little People," and uses the gun of government to force their fascist/communistic policies down other people's throats. I would put Rahm Emmanual in that category. Well, most of Obama's administration for that matter.
WRONG. Again. Of course you would put ANYONE who doesn't share your views in "that category" (that category being the completely falsified category where fascism and socialism are the same thing)
3. You have NO IDEA what socialism is!
Socialism is that political philosophy that is leading us down The Road to Serfdom. Oh yeah, I forgot, Frederic Hayek is a hypocritical idiot too, right?
Nope, just you. Hayek was a bit of a loon, philosophically, but he got a few things right. Namely that conservatives would rather stand still, whereas liberals want to go somewhere (progressivism, anyone?).
And, you are an arrogant piece of work. You take a computer class in political science and you think your brain is setting the world on fire. Believe me doob ... there have been plenty of your ilk who have come before you ... and the damage caused by them in human sacrifice is not only astounding, but immoral and totally anti-human.
Now stick that in your bong and smoke it.
All states have archaic laws still on the books that aren't enforced. I posted the CA definition of "driver" for you, too.
