You've missed my poi...A response to Anonymous:<br /><br />You've missed my point. I guess I didn't make it clear. First, I'm against smoking, period. And no one should subject unwilling people to their tobacco or marijuana smoke, that would include spouses and children. That is rude behavior. However, from the evidence presented--the facts--there is little to no health problems caused by second hand smoke, either tobacco or marijuana. But certain people and organizations, aided by the news media, make hysterical claims in their push to stop all smoking. For example, 50,000 death per year from second hand smoke, which is not substantiated by the evidence, the facts. <br /><br />I'm in favor of adults smoking if they want to. I think it's stupid, but adults have a right to the full ownership and use of their bodies even if what they do is stupid. As adults and under the concept of inalienable rights, we all have the right to do what we want just so long as we to not violate the rights of others. It would seem from the evidence presented that second hand smoke does not violate the rights of others. <br /><br />I'd truly like to see a world where no one smoked tobacco. Marijuana does have proven health benefits for some, however, that can't be fully realized without smoking it. I'm all in favor of businesses open to the pubic (not public, government agencies where the public must go to transact certain business) to have non-smoking rules if they wish. It's their business, they own it, they can run it how they want... if we the people actaully do have inalienable rights.D. M.

People never look at the bigger picture. When trying to get a law passes that bans indoor smoking, it should be for all smoke. Tobacco, marijuana, incense or whatever. You cannot just draw a line and say only some things are bad. They in fact are all bad. There is no such thing as healthy smoke. If you take the time to consider passing a ban you should look at the big picture. Mrs. Carlson is right. Plain and simple. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
