At first I was against any attempt to ban smoking in public places such as parks, bus stops, etc. But now I'm all for it, and any other heavy smoker should feel the same way. You all know we need to put those cancer sticks down, and if five dollars + a pack didn't stop us then we just have to rely on new laws to "force" us. True enough, just as bad are chemicals, fumes & smog from public buses, trains, oil refineries, etc etc , chemicals in our foods, house products, etc but we're not being very good role models for our youth in preparation for the next generation. Two wrongs don't make a right. Besides, the only ones benefitting off our suicide mission are those filthy rich, cigar puffing. toupee wearing execs. ~Love others unconditionally, but always love yourself first. If there's no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm~
