<< Even if smoking is bad for you, I think you should be able to do it >>

I can agree with you on this. But, only if they remove the nicotine. Industry can sell anything that they want, but to make a product addictive is a crime.

<< I shouldn't have to pay your medical bills, though. >>

This subject is close to my heart, in more ways than one. I am extremely sensitive to tobacco smoke. There are many places I don't go in order to avoid tobacco smoke. Fumes from the clothes of a person that has smoked hours before can trigger a very serious and possibly life threatening effect on me.

I still support a person's right to smoke. Just, not around me, and not addictive.

J,

You know, if the President were really serious about the health of American smokers don't you think he might push for something like free nicotine patches? We give away condoms and needles. Or do you think he is far more sinister about the health of American people and is only interested in taxing those who are addicted......bp
