I agree that smokers shouldn't smoke around non-smokers. That's rude. People should respect each other. On the other hand, the absolute hatred that non-smokers are showing toward smokers is beyond rude. It is self-righteous bigotry. Let's put it into perspective. If thin people started ranting about how they wished fat people died of heart disease or vegetarians to hope that anyone who eats meat dies of mad cow disease or straight people hoping that gay people would die of HIV/AIDS. All of these groups are living life styles that others object too. Yet, we do not tolerate hate-mongering. To hate these groups is insane, just as it is insane to be hateful to smokers.<BR/><BR/>Sure smokers should respect non-smokers and not smoke around them. I know I don't. Other than that, non-smokers have no business acting better than a person who smokes. Non-smokers, who probably drink alcohol, swear, watch pornos, speed in their cars, eat too much fatty-foods or do some other questionable act, are no better than anyone else. Period. <BR/><BR/>It is time to stop being self-righteous.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693481351269168637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26975600.post-16889225534313272452008-05-08T13:07:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:07:00.000-07:00I haven't been able to find a site to view the act...I haven't been able to find a site to view the actual law , so I have a question.<BR/> Does bringing 20 packs of cigarettes into TN. pertain to both myself and my wife or are we only allowed 20 packs between us ?<BR/> confusedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26975600.post-64056894558470831852007-10-02T13:57:00.000-07:002007-10-02T13:57:00.000-07:00Commentary, yes.

Well I guess we better make cigarette taxes lower?This time I will be less subtle.<BR/><BR/>Help reform education and health care laws that allow citizens to make better choices. Start the criminalization of a drug that has no real health or medicinal benefits. Clean the air that we non-smokers have polluted by cancerous smoke every day.
