Smokers Rights

Pete,

I have a response to you and your wife;

Put 100 people in a closed room for 1hour, all of them smoking.......1 hour later you open the door and they are all alive.

Put 100 non smokers in the same room with a 1 car running,

1hr later open the door....they are all dead.

I hope you leave your car window open all the time when its running....get it?

Waldmeir & smokng

AS Waldmeir states no doubt smoking kills and people shouldn't smoke. however, autos kill,guns kill, overweight kills and many other things kill does that mean to Waldmeir that all these things should cease to be? We had or have, laws on the books force pubic places to ensure that they have areas set aside that is only for smokers and it seems to work very well so what is wrong with contining that system.

Waldmeir, and other ex-sokers, are willing to take away the rights, yes rights ,of 20% of Americans who do smoke. A right to use a heavy taxed legal product. These ex-smokers, and others, say nothing abut making the product illegal, nothing about removing the taxes, they speak only about how smoking is killing them.Whle I smoke cigars (one a day) and enjoy cigars and have done so for seven decades, starting when I was in service during WW 2. A war that was "supposed" toensue that we retaned the rights given our Constitution now Waldmeir, and the others, want to usurp that Contitution and make a waste of the time I, and millions of other spent to protect it. GIVE ME A BREAK. Frank Mannino
