Is the Constitution a non-smokers Document?

Published on January 26, 2005 By wmsco In Blogging

We have passed Legislation limiting the Rights of smokers, where they can Eat, what restaurants, what jobs, put out in the cold, what appartments etc., the list goes on and on!
Did we do this to the different nationalities? Did we legalise a certain life style?
If we squeeze out the last smoker, who is next?

It'd be like if I decided my luck was so good I should play Russian Roulette every day.

Actually, you would be arrested for attempted murder, your not legally allowed to kill yourself, and if you fail, you can be arrested for trying.

I personally think that is a load of bulunkie, I can smoke myself to death, drink myself to death, I can eat myself to death, starve myself to death, dehidrate myself to death, etc. However, I cannot drive without a seat belt, ride without a helmet, shot myself and live, etc.

I don't want people forcing me to live, healthy or not, that is my right, I am the age of the majority. Don't want me to smoke in Government offices, fine, don't want me to smoke in your buisness, fine, but don't force buisnesses to ban smoking if they don't want to, it should be up to the owner of the buisness, that should be a right of the buisness owner, their choice, not the non-smoking public. If a bar owner wants a non smoking bar, fine, good for them, if a bar owner wants smoking in his bar, fine, good for him.

I don't understand why non smokers want all public places (other than government buildings) to be non smoking only. Locally, there are non smoking bars, smoking bars, non smoking resturants, and smoking resurants, The point is, there are choices if you want to hang out in the toxins or not.

It's probably because the non-smokers are a bit lazy. Why make choices? Get rid of all smoking places!

Jesus....this is a bumper crop day for issues that are rooted in common sense being cast to the wind....we have the same draconian laws here as well....the non-smoking lobby is getting more rabid with each passing day to say the least...when one cannot walk down a tree lined street next to a park on the way to shop in a neighbourhood, or better yet, IN THE PARK, cannot sit on a bench in the sun pondering the statuary, trees & abundance of exotic horticulture amoungst the duck ponds without BEING ARRESTED in the open air of our God given community, it seems we get closer to George Orwell's 1984 in many regards. Thx for bringing this point of view to the public domain WMSCO
