NY prohibits smoking by people fighting addictions

are you kidding me? why are we allowing the government to keep trying to run our private lives? they can't do anything about the drug dealing so I guess they try things that are easier for them to handle. they are a bunch of idiots that are over paid to come up with ideas to dig into our lives. lets make a law that politicians cannot be corrupt or they pay the price. myself like others have absolutely no respect for our so called government. a bunch of monkeys in suits that are tearing our world apart with their ideas and ignoring the real problems in our society. come on people lets fight back and show them who pays their salarys, and that we the people are the government. or has we given up? they are loving the control over us. our country has landed in the crapper and, we are accepting it just like the puppets they think we are. I am not happy to be an american anymore. third world countries are more free than we are. shame on weak america!!!!

At least they didn't ban public sex at these treatment centers. That's still the best release.

Maybe they should open re-hab clinics for smokers to quit the habit of nicotine. Or give them nicotine gum, that's how Obama kicked his smoking habit.

They have nicotine anonymous meetings now. But that nicotine treatment centers idea is not bad in itself, make it like an 8 week program!.

The study indicates that bipolar-associated risk is independent of the risk conferred by other disorders affecting study participants...www.MedicineTop ic.com

When I was in med school, I was told to refer all alcoholics to AA because that group had a better record of success than any medical program. They still have a better record for long term success than any treatment program. Their philosophy is to stick to the main issue - alcohol. Forget the other stuff. Unfortunately, I believe complete health has become a religion in treatment programs. Try looking at the patient, the chart and the statistics aren't sick.
