Yes, I smoke

wow 2000 election... please.

alright lemmi see if i remeber everything i wanted to say.

ah yes, smoking to support the economy. if anything smoking helps the government because of the high tax put on cigs, although as wren said, that 38 million would not disapear, it would be funneled into the economy anyways, since you can assume that the $3-$4 a pack you spend is part of your disposable income and would be spent anyways, or we could hope that it would not be included back into your budjet and put into investments stimulationg the economy much better, but doubtful that would happen.

crying for the farmers? ehh i'll get my violin. no one cared about the welfare of the liquor industry durring porhibition, no one cares about the multi-billion dollar cocaine industry in south america and how their families... shit how their county is going to get the income they need to stay halfway afloat. no one cares about the marajuana farmers in mexico, this is a evil industry, its manufacturing an addictive product that does do long-term harm to people. dont cry for them

pussies in cali for voting against it and i'll include all other states too... when im eating a $25 steak i want to enjoy it. i dont want to have to taste the cigerette smoke in the air giving my food an unplesent flavor. what about children who dont have as developed bodys and they have to hack away cause of second hand smoke, and dont tell me its a lie, i usta when my dad smoked around me, and he stoped cause of it.

air pollution... well its a situation that isnt easly tackeled but as i said earlier and other people did, indoors would be better, non smokers wouldnt have to smell/breathe it in. i worked in a resturant that we sectioned off the bar and had an air purifier in there, well it cut down alot, but you can still smell it if your not a smoker. it seems that smokers dont have as good a sence of smell, at least for cigs, and the remnents of it in the air is much more unpleasing for them as opposed to me(a smoker) cause i dont smell it.

I don't give a shit if you smoke outside or in your house, but inside in a public place is just rude. I wouldn't fart in an elevator (and I'm sure if 23% of people farted every time they entered a crowded elevator, they'd outlaw that too) and I wouldn't smoke next to an old lady eating a sandwich. It is simple courtesy, but trashy disrespectful fucks such as yourself weren't courteous enough to refrain from sharing your cancer with others, so laws had to be made. You couldn't govern your own behavior for the best of society, so the gov't did.

i think that sums up, its dirty, smells and shouldnt be empossed on people who dont want to deal with it.

and on that note i light up a nice fresh crisp parlement i stole from the hippie who lives next door
