I am a non-smoker, and certainly do not have any problem with those smoking in their own vehicles. If government can get into your vehicle, then what next??

Something like that from a Bronco Fan, LOL. Government in your vehicles? No, I don't think so. What is the big deal, you are on school grounds and they are trying to keep young people from doing it, why not you as an adult just do it to show the kids it is the right thing to do. I a non-smoker, but nothing is as bad as walking up to the gym doors or other doors that don't let people smoke inside and have 10 people standing right in the doorway smoking. At least have some sense and more away from the doors.

This is typical of what happens.........it's not enough that EVERY indoor venue is without smoking.........NOW they don't want smokers OUTSIDE smoking either.........Good God. Again, that school sure enjoys the benefits of taxes collected on the tobacco......

Now before when smoking was allowed INSIDE we didn't see a problem with smokers at the doorways. We had areas where people smoked and areas where people didn't smoke. Smokers have been forced to huddle in groups where the ashcan is. No satisfying the complainers until the right is gone.

Smokers huddle around the door because thats where the ashcan is. Would you prefer we throw the butts on the ground? Then people would complain about the butts. You don't like smokers at the door complain to the owner about where the ashcan is, don't complain to the smokers.

I wish people were as protective of the right to smoke as the right to carry a pistol. Yes smoking is a Right, at least for now. I have the Right to smoke and you have the Right to complain, but we should be concerned when the government steps on anyones Rights whether you agree with them or not. Because it's only a matter of time before your Rights get stepped on and you may just find yourself alone.

I have noted a certain irony of the defense of individual business owners having the right to decide if folks can carry a firearm in their place of business verses the push for smoking bans that don’t give those same business owners a right to decide about smoking in that same business.

I'm not sure, but maybe cigarettes kill more people than guns.

No room for discrimination on our road to purrfection.

Let's outlaw everything.

You call it irony. I call it hypocrisy.

Cigarettes don't kill people, people kill people.

I never seen a cigarette kill anyone.

Is our bedroom next? The door has been opened. Think about it, any pretext can be used to justifiy gubberment actions.

One of the elements of fascism (A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government....) would be us goose-stepping into conformity of rejecting, or hiding, our bad habits.

Here's a little test: drive around town without your seatbelt buckled AND with more than $10,000 in cash and see who steals your money ....
