Why do such a thing? Unless you want to 'bloat' out.

Even though I'm not a smoker...I'm surprised at all of the smoking bans going around. I heard on the news last night that a few baseball stadiums have banned smoking except in 'designated areas outside the stadium'. How can they be afraid of second hand smoke issues in an open air stadium? Numerous health institutions have even told their employees that they couldn't smoke in their car on the employer parking lot and if you get caught walking across the street to light up, you get a warning or write up on your record dooming you to not receiving a merrit raise.

I have to agree, although I don't begrudge a non-smoker clean air but there does seem to be a little bit of 'hysteria' going hand in hand with smoking bans.

It seems that we're heading towards a situation where you will only be allowed to smoke in your own home and if you are smoking outside, you will have to evade non-smokers or cross the street.

If I happen to sit closer to a smoker in that arena, I am more concerned with the stinking he/she produces, than with my future health detoriating.

And the health institutions - have a special obligation, imo, to set an example. The same with hospitals.

smoking is a appetite suppresant but in no way can smoking can be see as being healthier and there is no link between being overweight and premature death same as there is no link to global warming being caused by humanity so dont believe all the lies that can be peddled , when you eat you affect no-one but yourself when you smoke you damage everyone within the smokes range

I would be all for that, if we could deny smokers access to medical care to keep them from being such a financial burden on others. All the lung cancer chemotherapy, lobectomies, coronary stent placements, coronay artery bypass grafts, acute MIs with or without thrombolytic therapy, cardiac care unit admissions, hemicolectomies, ischemic strokes, carotid endarterectomies, abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs, and transitional cell carcinomas are all pretty costly.

All those health problems are expensive. You guys are a drain on society. Yep, that's right, you heard me...

Don't lick the ashtray, blah.

Shoot, there's a difference between going 'Cold Turkey' because you want to & because you have to.

Good Luck to you mate.
