Second hand smoke has not been proven to cause any health risks. This issue is just as bad as abortion

Nice! Can't argue with the facts so you turn to insults. Try doing what I asked you to do in a previous post. Grow up!
read my post above, my argument is there. now quit crying or just kill yourself if you don't like people smoking around you.
Smokers help support good social programs like helping needy children by paying taxes on smokes. If people quit smoking then they don't care about children. Non smokers also don't want to help children. Non smokers are careless heartless evil people.

I they should have smokers only bars and non-smoking bars then it is fair to both parties involved. The sweeping no-smoking laws that our local goverments make is total discrimination.

Driving a car is NOT a necessity. Mabey growing up spolied made you think that. Driving a car is a privilege.
btw the sun is far more dangerous than second hand smoke could ever be.
are you going to let your little children play outside in shorts and short sleeves, knowing full well the sun causes cancer?
are we going to sue and outlaw the sun from shining?
are we going to make everyone have an umbrella and smather sunblock on any exposed part of your body, because our nanny state govt passes a law?
it causes cancer! its dangerous to your health.
write your congressman, lets do away with those dangerous UV rays from the sun.

Maybe to you. I smoke pipes and cigars and I get a good deal of personal enjoyment out of it.
If "purpose" was a criterion, we'd have to put an end to an awful lot of activities.
REASONS I HATE SMOKERS:
1. They think the world is their ashtray. News for you, asswipe: Those cigarette butts you toss on the curb don't just magically disappear. I have not seen ONE SINGLE SMOKER who disposes of all his/her butts correctly in an ashtray.
2. They figure that as long as they're not directly blowing smoke into someone's face, no one cares. Uh, hello? Where do you think the smoke goes? Oh, that's right, it disperses over a wide area, spreads with the air current, and pollutes the ENTIRE ROOM. You want to smoke, GO OUTSIDE, AND SMOKE DOWNWIND.
3. Careless parents. I knew this one girl who had a 2 year old kid (friend's ex-wife's sister). Anyway we were in her hotel room before the wedding, and she was chain smoking - in an unventilated hotel room - with her kid playing in a crib in the middle. I wanted to pop her head off like a cork.
4. Hygiene. Have you ever kissed a smoker? BLECH. Not only does their breath reek, but so do all their worldly possession, their car, their clothes, and their house. Smokers tend to argue against this, but that's because they're so busy REEKING that they can't tell.

I never said, nor implied smoking is a necessity.
Addictions are recognized by law as a necessary part of the addicts life. Usually pertains to hard drug cases, like crack, heroin, methamphetamines.
These substances are recognized as necessary for the addicts body to function in its current state. Taking them away has serious repercussions on the body and mental state of the addict. This is why addictions are treated by slowly weening them away from the substance.
The only reprecussion taking someones car or license away has, is that they have to ride the bus.
I am sorry but the utter ignorance of this comment blows me away. If you have never been addicted you could not begin to comprehend what it means to those people. That is why they get highly offended mass movement of smoker discrimination and having the goverment tell them how to live their lives without even considering their views when making sweeping no-smoking laws.

Actually it does. The tax money that it generates provides health care to children who don't have it. I say again, smokers take care of those children. Non smokers are heartless and don't care about those children. Smokers are heros.

This is funny. I wish it was ok to discriminate against anyone... there's a few times at college I would have liked to tell someone to go stand outside the classroom because he smelled like ass. But that would have been racism, cause he was arab and it's his religion or something that causes him to emit that odor.
well after reading through this thread, I really liked this post. As a non-smoker, I really appreciate people like yourself. Unfortunately, like you mentioned, you are in the minority. I also respect people's rights to smoke where it is allowed like in your examples. If I want to go to a bar, although I still don't like it, I will not give anyone a hard time for smoking because it's allowed. I like to go bowling and I know I will face smoke because that's what people do at bowling alleys..bowl, drink, and smoke.
Your statement is ridiculous....non-smokers are tax payers too and I am most positive that smokers really don't like they way you patronize them.
If the US Goverment was a business it would have been bankrupt a loooooong time ago.
