Cigarette smoke is not one of those trade-off thingies you like so much.
It's like Hitler...there's no reason to compromise about it...it's all
bad and *anything* that can be done to eliminate cigarettes is a good
thing.

We just have to hope the environmental weenies do not use second hand
smoke as a precedent (infinitesimally small trace amounts of a
chemical) to come after our BOATS (just to stay on topic). No matter
how clean burning your engine is, there are still trace amounts of all
sorts of chemicals in the exhaust. They could even cite the fiberglass
that out gases for years or the paints and preservatives used on wood.
Bottom paint is a super fund site compared to SHS.
Somehow I bet you think these are all harmless because they meet some
threshold limit value..


I can't do much more than giggle at your attempts to build your case
here. Sorry.

It is simply because you refuse to accept your prejudice.



Nah. The general disdain for cigarettes isn't going to portmanteau into
general disdain for boats.


You must not have manatees up there in "Cawlvert county". There is a
very vocal group around here who would ban all power boats in vast
stretches of water. They will use any kind of junk science that
becomes available. If they ever figure out you can set the threshold
limit value of emissions to zero like we have done with tobacco smoke,
power boats could go the way of asbestos pot holders.



Your problems with manatees and manatee lovers is not "general disdain"
for boats or boaters. We have lots of active boaters up here, and I've
not seen much aimed at curtailing the activities of those who behave
responsibly on the water.
