    we've been down this road.

    next he's going to say it's impossible to avoid.
    then someone is going to point out examples of smoke free places.
    he won't respond directly to those posts.
    later he'll complain about being forced to breathe in other people's toxins.
    and the whole cycle starts again.

    You people must be blind!!! I'm forced to be around smokers every day. In the work place, on the sidewalk and all over in public. I recently had juror duty where we were restricted to an area around the courthouse for 4 days and unless I wanted to lock myself indoors in the Library I was surrounded by smokers everywhere in the courtyard. Smokers aren't nearly as limited as some of you think. Non smokers would have to lock themselves in their house to stay away from smokers.

    i had no idea there were different types of paper used for cigarettes.
    my question is this:
    how long before cigarettes are all made with this paper?
    wonder how much extra expense is incurred by making them 2 separate ways. Is it cheaper to do this in only 3 states, and use something else in the other 46? Or would it just be cheaper to use the new paper on all cigarettes?

    I wonder if the new paper is worse for you. It probably causes a$$ pimples or something.

    I quit smoking in 1987 and smokers/smoke don't really bother me, but, come on Twisted. You are losing this debate. If you want to avoid 2nd hand smoke, it's not that hard to do.

    I've never had a fish taco but I'm pretty sure I know what it tastes and smells like. :hihi:

    I haven't had a cigarette in about 15 years now. I go through my day and almost never smell smoke. However, when I do, I don't freak out about it. An occasional wisp of smoke usually makes me crave having one again. So, I guess I kinda like it!

    Non smokers aren't nearly as limited as you think.

    I'm not trying to win a debate just make a point. And you're right it's not hard to avoid second hand smoke, it's impossible.

    told ya




    you had a choice.
    Library or courtyard.
    You may not have liked all the options, but the options were there.
    unless the bailiff handcuffed you and drug you out to sit near the smokers.

    seriously, no one is gauranteed the right to LIKE all of his/her options in any given situation.
