I’m voting NO.

Best to vote NO on all issues on the ballot today (November 3rd). Things are just fine as is. Remember the “law of unintended consequences”!

Smokers should have no rights. If you are reading this and you are a smoker, your time in power is over. This is our first step. Next we will ban smoking outside your house. Then we will ban smoking inside your house. Then we will deny all health care for anyone who has ever smoked. Eventually, the population will recalibrate and be healthier.

Smoking is bad for your health and mine. You should have figured this out by now.

Today’s comment is brought to you by the state of Missouri. The state encourages everyone to buy tons of cigarettes so that they can use the tax revenue to buy cool office chairs.

Ha! In your face smokers. You lost! Go take all your business to St. Charles, Jefferson County or Illinois. Your kind is not desired here.

It is soooooo satisfying to watch the Big Tobacco dupes being made an ash of. This signals the beginning of the statewide ban movement. I can hardly wait till I can go to any bar, bowling alley or casino without having to breathe the carcinogens of the thoughtless rubes around me. That’ll be the next step. We’ll eliminate the loopholes. How goes the BIRTHER movement? I hear you guys lost another court battle. Those teabags must be pretty soggy after all the rain lately.

Mr. Brown,

Your anger is going to shorten your life. You need a hug. In case you missed it, The Platform moderators want me to comment like a mindless progressive liberal so you should like many of my recent comments.

Like you, I hate smokers now. Deep in my mind I want them to get cancer, but realistically I know that would be bad since we need the tax revenue from their stupidity.

The government is the answer. Personal choice is a ridiculous notion. It is much easier for me and probably better for me if the government tells me how to dress, what to eat, and decides my fate. I know now that there is no self determination. The collective is more important than the individual. Now I know Rich, why you think this way. It doesn’t take any effort or thought.

Another wonderful progressive law where the rights of the individual override the rights of a business person to run their very own business, funded with their very own capital, simply because it’s all about ‘us’. We’re so insistent on getting our own way to eat what we want to eat, we’ve decided to infringe on personal businesses. Congratulations, St. Louis, you’ve just added more governance on individual rights, those of a business person to conduct business as they see fit and how they earn their living.
Prepare yourselves. This is only the beginning. Next up: Hooters and the Tilted Kilt. Those low cut blouses and short skirts really offend my sensibilities as a woman. I’m deeply offended.I think I’ll talk to City Council. After all, I have a right to eat where I want.

Only a Birther would mistake my joy for anger. Then again you mistake self-determination as a license to do any abominable, boorish practice as your right, regardless of the rights of others. Fortunately the law is seldom made by libertarians, whose views of rights are basically divorced from reality.

Having seen the effects of cancer close up on several occasions I would not wish it on victims of addiction, just those that promote that addiction for profit or their own self-aggrandizement. As for taxes from tobacco, I’ll wager that the use of it costs much more in medical bills, pain, suffering, loss of income and productivity than it has ever produced in taxes.

And lastly please refrain from telling me what I think. A Birther by nature doesn’t know how to think. He merely repeats lies made up by people that make up their own identities. What an amazing suspension of logic.

Hey i think smokers should keep one thing in their mind that if they are irritating anybody then he they should stop smoking and also they should not smoke in no smoking zone. Passive smoking is also injurious to health so they have no right to harm others.
