Whoa, Whoa, WHOA !!!!!!!!!! Cigarettes - No Smoking Cigarettes ..The great debate of our time - banning smoking in restaurants and other public areas - came to a head this week in Florence, as the Florence City Council voted down a ban on it by a 4-3 vote. Smoking really is one of those hair-splitting issues. Personally, I have never smoked cigarettes - HA, thought you had me in a lie there, didn't you! - but I know a lot of smokers. I basically do have one problem with not allowing a co-worker to smoke. Depriving a person of their nicotine addiction turns them into total raving a-holes! It's true, and I've seen it with my own eyes......
Seriously, I have to spend 10 hours a day with this nutjob, and you're gonna take away the only thing that keeps me from killing him/her? I think i might rather deal with the second hand smoke than a Jones that makes a crackhead look serene.... Sure, i'd like to live in a smokefree world, and not have my clothes stink like an ashtray after a night out, but this is America.... I'm not allowed to have it all anyway, because someone will take it or tax me for it, right?
My friend Phil's mom had a bumper sticker on her car a few years back. It read "I Smoke - I'm Not a Second Class Citizen", or something to that effect. Maybe they are, maybe not. I guess I'm saying I don't really care if Florence has a smoking ban or not - I'll adjust anyway. I worry more about our freedoms to do legal things than whether or not my clothes stink. Speaking of legal - or not........

If we can't ban smoking...let's not ban smoking...of any naturally growing plant.
Plulaw-I think you and I could both agree on that. Wait a minute that's called bi-partisanship! Oh God we can't have that happen here can we?...teg
P-Luv-I think we have just found an issue that we both can agree on. Yes I know its called bi-partisanship, guess it's a Inglis-Graham moment.Don't worry it can't last to long...can it?..teg
If marijuana could heal the riff between republicans and democrats, could anyone ever question its medicinal magic???
I know Ms. X would agree with you two on that one, although she's not into politics that much....
Another plus for Ms. X...
