yeah, I have those great memories as well, the country was strong, robust and would tell any other country to kiss our arse. But, the cig memories have been tarnished considerably through the years, as I've watched close friends and loved ones die in front of me as their lungs were eaten away by cancer. Sure,,, before it's said, yes, the "lung cancer" could have been caused by other things, (after all, we live in La., right), but I would be willing to bet the 2 packs of Camel, or Pall Malls or Viceroys, etc. a day PROBABLY didn't help.

So, I guess it's still "supposed" to be a free country and if it makes you feel better, go ahead and call me or anyone else a pussy that has had loved ones die of lung cancer and doesn't appreciate the smell of cigs, real or fake in their face.
I really don't care what people do, with their one life,, as long as it doesn't shorten or make my one life harder to live. Yes, please go somewhere and suck on one of those flashlight looking things if you have to, that's your right. I dont care if people smoke or not, repeat, don't care.
This thread was started about ecigs and their smell, and opinions of people about ecigs in eating places, right? I don't remember reading where it asked you if you thought people were pussies for not liking smoke, real or fake? Its probably getting close to my Sea of Nile time of noon, so, I'll take a nap and my right leg has already fallen asleep from sitting on the toilet so long.

btw, I was on those planes as well, ftr, it was miserable.

eta: I apologize, I reread, not pussies, "titty babies and wah wah frickers", sorry.

It's far less about that as it is people's willingness and eagerness to flush liberty down the drain, even dictating policy to private businesses. That's not healthy either, perhaps not physically, but most certainly not healthy for your liberty away from government intrusion into every facet of your lives. We make it this way.

sorry, my arm and hand had fallen asleep as well, hit the wrong button.

anyway, you speak very eloquently, reminds me of Otters speech when their frat was getting kicked out in Animal House.

IMO, practice what you preach,, why don't you stop worrying about what good, hard working, blue collar, beer drankin', marlboro smokin' families feed THEIR families, and what eatin' joint that THEY choose to patronize?

I don't give a shite where people eat, and no, I probably don't eat there, but that's out of making better personal choices for myself and for what I see as our local food scene.

That being said, one thing you will never hear me say is that government on any level needs to legislate people's choices, no matter how silly I may think their choices are, and that's the difference.

At the end, and for better or worse, the free market should always decide and reflect people's choices, not government. Our free society depends upon better personal decisions to improve, not government legislating it into existence or extinction.

For the record, I believe smoking ecigs makes your butt wide. Womenz will thus avoid them...boys wanting to be Womenz will scurry to them. Just remember this wisdom when you see some dude in skinny jeans mouthing one.

See... You learn something every day. And here I was thinking it was eating more, and moving less.

Did you really just play the liberty card for ecigs in restaurants? Let's look at it this way then. OP works at a restaurant. He was asking what other people thought as to maybe inform policy for his private business. There's your liberty.

Nah, frick liberty. Let the people who have no personal vested interest in the business vote on their liberty. It's the American way.
