Bill Signed Banning Smoking In Cars With Children

In case ya'll are wondering - no I do not smoke in the house - I take my puffing outside or in the garage if it's cold.

I dont smoke in the car if my DD is with me, and I certaintly dont smoke in places where the law prohibits it or at other people's houses if they are non-smokers.

Ive tried quitting numerous times and quite frankly I dont have the willpower to do so. By the third day Im having withdrawals and I can't stand myself. But I also look at the smoking and think damn - I could be doing so much better without the nicotine. It really is hard to quit once you start.

And, you, my friend are a responsible smoker. You do not inflict you choice to smoke on others. Therefore, they have no right to inflict their choice not to smoke in your own private residence or automobile on you. It is a legal activity.
 
Yeah, every time a law is passed, especially where the legislation affects something that is legal, we all lose some more of our freedom, greater social good be damned.
 
Yup, also they must posted in spot that where's designed for smoking then not need worry about confuse at every entrance.

Its all about equal rights. If a person has the right to choose not to engage in a legal activity, it follows that others have the right to choose to do so. And, if you have non-smoking facilities to cater to one segment of the population, to refuse to accommodate another section of the population is discrimination.
 
But it is a legal activity. Not to mention which all individual's in this country also have the right to determine how to raise their own children. An automobile is a private location. It is not a public location. Restrictions on public locations are one thing...restrictions on private locations are quite another. It is, most certainly, a violation of civil rights.

Simply becasue smoking does not fall into the category of being healthy is hardly sufficient reasonfor legislation. Eating McDonald's in the car is hardly healthy, either, but there is no law stating that you cannot eat a hamburger in your car if you so choose. Not is there a law restricting the number of times per week that you can feed your child fast food, dspite the fact that childhood obesity is a growing major health concern in this country. Personal responsiblity, people.

Very good point jillio! :thumb: it bothers me when the government gets in our personal life business, demanding what we can and cannot do.
 
And Defee, you mentioned passing a law about an activity within the confines of our homes. Maybe you were just being sarcastic but if not, uh oh! You are talking about, pardon me, if this is not apt, the "holy of holies"; no politician, good or bad or in their right mind would even begin to think about passing something like this; he'd be dead before sundown, lol.
 
I wish Jillioie was the Governor instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger... :giggle:

Hello, Big Brother!:cool:
 
Politics is not my bag! I'm too honest!:giggle:


That's exactly what we need, politician who is honest and will fight for our equal rights.... :h5:


And maybe get sign language to become a law, to see sign languages as the FIRST resort... :giggle:
 
Hahaha lol

( psst... exactly ! )

haha... i used to be a smoker.. and my ex bf said i tasted like ashtray.. i said no way cuz i brushed my teeth??? finally i quit smoking (10 yrs next year) and i kissed a smoker and OMGOSH.. my ex bf is right.. ewww so it sticked to my mind ever since.. LOL! ewww hehe... ugh ugh!
 
Are you being judgmental? Sometimes people turns me off when they're so judge-able.

When I dated a boy while in high school, he smoked and he doesn't even taste like ashtray.

i didnt say it.. my ex bf said it when we were dating each other.. I used to be a smoker. He insulted me that im an ashtray. I brushed my teeth and everything till i quit and i was dating someone who is a smoker. I realized my ex bf is right its like kissing an ashtray.. so it stick to my mind ever since! lol. thats why i find this funny.. hehe!

I will keep on advocating for just that! You have my promise on that one!

Yep lol

Umm my experience : 2 smokers can't taste " ashtray ", because they BOTH smoke.

One who don't smoke while the other does smoke, the non-smoker will taste " ashtray " from a smoker.

Big difference. :)

Anyway, I hate it when I tend to say somethin' that's off-topic here. Gee - that's bad habit. I just don't want to get myself in trouble for goin' off-topic. :ugh:

Thank you! Ever since I quit cold turkey- I dont have cough fits and phelgms. I can breath better, taste foods better, smell EVERYTHING and oh yes less allergies. YES i am allergic to smoking! believe it or not and I didnt listen to my doctor. duh me!

My mom quit smoking too and its been 5 yrs for her too! She is suffering from Emphysema and its horrible to watch her having trouble breathing. She is on oxygen and on several medications. I think Emphysema is worse as you are suffering from it for many years with coughings fit, phelgms, short of breath and can lead to pnuemonia than other diseases. she cant walk without stopping just to breath. It is not a funny disease.

my sis in law have emphysema, along with my sis Dori, too. they both are still smoking. My sis said she enjoys smoking. So it is her business and I cant tell her what to do! :(

so at my moms house she doesnt allow smoking in the house due to her trouble breathing and kids are around too. my son is allergic to smoking along with me too. kids havent gotten sick since no one smokes in the house? I believe smoking cause kids to get ear infections all times.

I almost forgot to say that they just passed law here in ARkansas. if have more than 10 people in a housing project or apartment- Smoking are not allowed. I saw it on the news other day. More stricter than ever before...

Yeah, because the smokers got used to this taste after a long time of smoking, hence their tastes of ashtray went through a process of desensitization.
 
jillio lives in Ohio? Are you for real?

Yeppers...



To those who have quit smoking, congrats!

To Jillo's comments about civil rights, I have to agree even though I am not a fan of smoking. I do not like the idea of government having this much hold over our lives.

Dixie, my husband goes thru the same thing whenever he tries to quit. So far, he hasnt been able to.
