Here in California a court just declared second hand smoke a pollutant:
The decision by the California Air Resources Board puts environmental tobacco smoke in the same category as diesel exhaust, arsenic and benzene.

This is getting to be more than a bit ridiculous.

It sounds like you'd like this post on the right thing to do about smoking bans and second-hand smoke.

Paul: You are quite obviously a man of good taste and sound judgement. Might I add that should you spend a night in a closed room with a car blasting diesel exhast, you would be dead. With tobbacco smoke, a substance so deadly that you have to spend years directly inhaling it to die, the worst you could expect is a mild headache.

Kelly: You are a lawyer of some kind but, as you seemed possessed of reason, I will forgive that. The right thing to do is to let smokers smoke. No one was hurt more by the ban than the non-smoking bars, who suddenly had to rely upon their decor, drink prices and service as opposed to the self-righteousness of a boring and aged populace.

I wrote you a long comment but then just said, the hell with it :)

You're in the minority, nyah nyah...

On this site Melly, you're in the minority. And don't you forget it.

Oh. Little tip. We're a minority that carries fire around.

Enjoy your little corner of freedom while you can. Soon we'll get here too .....

We're waiting. Still waiting. Waiting some more.

Fuck it, I'm playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.

The offer is appreciated but I'd prefer it you just paid for my giant robot body. I think that's a solution we could all live with.
