If someone dies because I was smoking next to them for 5 minutes, then their family can come tell me and I will pay for all the medical expenses.

Seriously I don't know anyone whos died because a guy was smoking at a bus stop.

Most people, if i'm smoking next to them and they don't like it, move the hell out of the way. It's not a hard concept.

what about smog from deisel busses and shipping trucks? We should wreck them to for poluting the world.... imagine $40 a cancer gallon of deisel... teach them to poison our lungs.

I don't really care if you smoke or not.

It's your right.

But I shouldn't have to pay for your health care.

Let's be fair. It's your choice to smoke. It should be my choice to not have to pay for your habit.

Eating at McDonalds to my knowledge is not an addictive habit.

It is true that the obese have additional health care issues.

Perhaps you should have to pay more for health insurance if your BMI exceeds a certain number.

This will be my only post on this thread, because you can only read so many posts by smokers insisting it's their right to smoke, and it's actually your car that is causing cancer, and that they are so polite when they smoke, and that you should be the one standing in the cold so they can smoke indoors, and they can smoke around their kids because they pay for the cigarettes and it's their kids, did I miss any of these rather telling reasons for smoking?

And they will keep going in circles about the smell of your perfume and the car you don't have and how it's your whining thats the problem, because if you would just sit there and let them smoke all over you things would be fab!

Peace out!

Also we need to tax people with more than 2 children per family... im paying for their children to go to school and use our roads.... its an ever increseing need... i didnt agree to that.

I read an article once that talked about banning smoking.

Most smokers would end up so healthy that it would bankrupt the Social Security system much faster.

The government would have to increase the retirement age quite a bit because people would live too long.

Oh Yes! Lets go shopping for health care insurance.

Please check all that apply:
Do you smoke?
Do you eat fast food?
Do you drink any alcoholic beverage?
Do you speed?
Do you drive a red car?
Are you taking any medications?
Have you had sex with more than 1 person?
Do you practice "safe sex"?
Do you consume food containing preservatives?
What's your BMI?
Are you depressed?
Have you been depressed in the past?
Oh, by the way.... how many times do you get sick each year?
How many times did you file a claim on health insurance last year?
Do you suffer from allergies?
Do you have children?
Do you feel stress?
Have you ever gotten into a fight, verbal or nonverbal?
Do you have negative thoughts?
Are you a member of ATS? You are!!! Insurance DENIED!

People's opinions and wearing spandex do have 1 thing in common. Just because you have them does not mean you should show them.

I like lighting up near people who are offended....I get grossed out watching people eat fast food yet I have to put up with it and deal with it.
So do you.
What makes people so self-entitled that they think they can tell someone what to do??
Rights??
Last I checked you don't really have the rights you think you do...especially when big money is involved like when dealing with a tobacco company or a macdonalds.
Don't hate the player,hate the game!!
