I seen on the news lastnight, a smoker threw his cigarette out the window of his car. It came back in and started his car on fire. He went off the road and started a grass fire. I wish that would happen to all of them that throw them out their window!!except he starting of the grass fire of coarse.

Unlike the suspect or quasi-suspect classifications of race, alienage, national origin, or gender, we conclude that smokers do not share some immutable characteristic beyond their control and they do not require special protection by the courts because of vast discrimination against smokers or their political powerlessness.

Discrimination against cigarette smokers is legal as long as they were not born with a cigarette, cigar or a tobacco pipe in their mouth..
This woman was born with these so you can't discriminate against her choice of swimming apparel..

When I first heard that the City Council was going to vote on banning cigarette smoking outside, I thought it was a joke. But, I guess not. I hope, if you ban smoking, you will also ban mosquito spray that people tend to spray all over, not just on themselves. and perfume (which I am allergic to). Now that medical marijuana is legal, will we be able to smoke that outside?

^^^COPD, Emphysema are just a couple side effects of smoking, not to mention lung cancer! Once you’ve puffed your way into disease you’re an expense for those of US who are smart enough to have maintained our health by clean living. I have no interest in breathing your second hand smoke or anyone else’s, like I said, it’s an obnoxious nasty habit that invades my space.
I’m no tree hugger, I’ve spent most of my life in coal burning Power Plants filled with asbestos, my lungs are in superb condition but my coworker’s who smoked are all victims of emphysema/cancer.
Your champion Ayn Rand the polemical author who defends political conservatism spent her life puffing in a cloud of obnoxious tobacco smoke. She denounced the medical wisdom of the day on smoking as hogwash only to develop lung cancer, she quickly enrolled in Medicare and we paid the bill for her stupidity!

QUOTE Mighty nice burn
There’s far less in the way of pollutants coming form my stacks than yours, take another deep breath of that diesel, it’s good for you!
QUOTE Huh? You don't want your hard earned money going to others that make poor choices? You're starting to sound like a conservative.
As I’ve told you before I’m a liberal conservative, there are no conservatives in the republican party only corporate owned representatives who’s true interest represent few citizens, the rest of you cuckoos fall under the guns, god and gays fringe!(teabaggers)
QUOTE I bet Obamacare, social security, and all the other welfare programs piss you off.
As for ACA it’s a private insurance company mandate, I would have went for the one payer system, until we can control excessive costs, this starts with the pharmaceutical industry’s over priced drugs, the medical industry’s service the insurance companies excessive premiums! And those executives of these three entities who justify their multimillion dollar compensation at the expense of our healthcare!
