My point was (and I guess I'll have to spell it out to you) that smokie in no way is labeling anyone in a negative way like the N word does. I believe even NON Cas Fan blasted you for that. Why not? It's a label, you're using it in a derogatory fashion. It would appear to fit the ...

Well you took it the right way, but Mrab is trying to back pedal. Look he didnt say it as to compare the two terms. He implied that I was a racist. He knows that. He is just doing the old back pedal now because he knows he was an idiot...

Sooner or later smokers WILL die. Medical fact. <quoted text> You are just a down right hateful nasty person. The stress from being so hateful will kill you before smoking kills me.

It's called VOTING Lynda. It's called DEMOCRACY Lynda, not a "police run state". Keep smoking and your wish will eventually come true.

If YOU were to read just a few quotes up, I noted that MRAB should blow his smoke up Parliament's butt. But maybe you would prefer he blow it in YOUR face.

It's hit a lot of media. FORBES too! The smoking ban in Ohio is hurting businesses. -- In 2006, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services projected a 10,000 job gain for the hospitality and leisure industry for 2007. The first 12 months of the smoking ban saw 5,400 lost jobs for that industry. -- Data obtained from Ohio Division of Liquor Control: both wholesale and retail (home consumption) sales from 2003 - 2006 had a steady growth in...

I think the debate is that drinking alone is harmful to your health, just like smoking is, and it could potentially be harmful to other people's health when people disregard the law and drive anyway, or fly a plane, or make life altering medical decisions. Alcohol is responsible for far more deaths than second hand...
