Plenty of left wingers would be happy to tell you to put your anti-smoking mania where the sun don't shine. And I didn't see anybody here defending tobacco use, excepting individual preference. You might be taken more seriously if your mania extended to the overweight, and those burning carcinogenic wood in fireplaces or driving polluting cars, or flying in polluting airplanes. Those are more serious health issues than second-hand cigarette smoke. Perhaps you 2 can't go there. It does take common sense. BTW. "apoligia" is the correct word. That was really clumsy for an averred literate. You 2 knee-jerkers should at least attempt to correct each other. I think the government should outlaw the sun. It causes skin cancer. |

We should probably ban the sun, it's causes skin cancer. |
