Oh well..... for years I have had to breathe second hand smoke from rude and inconsiderate people, including my own parents. If smokers don't like the new law I have a suggestion, CHOKE ON IT!

It's about time. Breath the freedom. Maybe if more smokers were considerate to others around them it would not come to this. Let us face the facts, some smokers are very rude and inconsiderate. Sorry to all those who aren't.

most places are non smoking these days why don't you guys go there and leave the smokers who are paying ALOT more taxes than you alone. without them your taxes would be twice what they are now. it's amazing how nobody these days can think far enough ahead to have a ligitamite and well thought out comment. If you sprayed gasoline on me when i was smoking i'd laugh when it did'nt ignite and then whoop your ass, as would anyone.

Don't soil yourself SMOKER - it was a joke.

And watching YOU try to "whoop" anyones azz would be amusing to witness.

After two swings, you would be wheezing like a
fireplace bellows and sucking on an inhaler! lol

Now - go have a cigarette,

...and be sure your cancer policy is paid up. lol

close the bars
close the resturants
close Michigan
ever since watching a news show (20/20? 60 minutes?) back in the '70s talking about a law to force resturants and such to have a non-smoking section Ive always taken a count of how many sit in the smoking and how many sit in the non-smoking section. In every resturant Ive ever been in, including BK and MickyDs, the smoking section is packed while a handful of non-smokers sit in the non-smoking section. Those businesses will die and the drive-thur will be your new job.
Ive never met an inconsiderate smoker, but I have met many non-smokers who will act like ideots 100feet from my smoke.

WAYNE! you the man! thats what i'm talking about right there, this whole damn country is brainwashed by the media, and the stupid environmentalists. They do more harm and take more rights away then they are doing good. when you get right down to it it's selfishness, they want it their way or the highway. too bad they are so worried about their cars poluting or maybe they would have taken the highway! pretty soon everything entertaining or fun will be illegal and all their will be to do is work, make kids (if you can afford it) and stare at the wall.

News flash for ya there Sparky; Your right to smoke in a public place just ended at my nostrils / lungs. And if you don't like it, then you can be the one to "go somewhere else", and take your nasty, filty, vile, cancer causing, disgusting IGNORANT ADDICTION with you! Buh Bye now!
