That's a misperception caused by paranoid hyperreactivity, the hallmark of the cult of antismokerism.

I swear, they can "smell" it across town! That's just sick.

I guess asking the smoker to blow his smoke elsewhere is too much like civilized.

Thanks! Rich

Colon cancer? What, did he smoke them out of his butt?

Thanks, Rich

Look at any antismokerist commercial on TeeVee, and if you're not completely brainwashed by the cult, it'll be obvious.

(like, "Oh! You've Quit! How Wonderful! Now you can Join Us and be Blessed with Eternal Life!" - well, that's a little hyperbolic, but I'm sure the sane ones get my point.)

Cheers! Rich

Of course you do! You think whatever your high priest tells you to think!

That's the nature of cults.

Good Luck! Rich

I mention it when the person doesn't realise from the facial expression first time ! One chap was most upset. I told him his behaviour was unacceptable.

Graham

I don't have a high priest.

It's not a cult it's common sense.

On an everyday note, smoking makes ppl smell bad.

Graham

And non-smokers are fat, ugly morons. Well, some of them are, but that seems to be enough for you to make a sweeping generalization, so I thought I'd try to fit in.

Is that the best you've got?

Your collection of responses on this topic demonstrates why smokers aren't winning any political battles lately.

So why is one of the ingredients in my Unscented Right Guard Spray Deodorant "fragrance"?

John

The religion is "life."

John

But it really saves me time in job interviews. If they smell like cigs, I know right away that they're too dumb to hire.

John

Does that make me cilantro?

John

Just wait until smokers become a legally protected class and haul you off to court, John!

That didn't stick. I'm involved in brain research. All of the simple explanations of Alzheimer's didn't hold up in further research. Nobody knows what causes it.

Probably hanging out in S.E.D ?:-)

I'm kind of bemused by the fact that the rise in chronic, morbid obesity corresponds so closely to the rise in antismokerism.

But they won't connect the dots because that would confilct with their dogma.

Cheers! Rich

Yes, as has always been the case, the voice of reason is swamped by the whirlwind of hysteria.

Thanks anyway, Rich

That's a personal opinion.

The idea that personal opinions should be cast into law is anathema to Freedom, but then again, I guess you Brits don't grasp the concept of Freedom, which is why we revolted against your king in the first place.

You go ahead and obey whatever authority you install over yourself, but that's not the way Freedom works. Freedom is very very scary: "What if I make the wrong decision??? Oh me, oh my! I have to make stuff up! What do I _DOO_!!?!??!??????"

That sort of thing.

Apparently, the vast majority of the sheeple don't want Freedom, they want Mommy.

Thanks, Rich

Is this the same attitude that prompts you to refer to your employees as "minions"?

Thanks, Rich
