Why would I talk about indoor smoke levels when there is a ban on smoking in indoor public places ? | ||

I'll reply if you bring up an interesting point. If you continue this debate as if it were an ego-war, I'll just let you have the last word. | ||

I never said you said this. I said if you honestly believe that there aren't people saying this you should open your ears. | ||

Again, you respond to nothing I said. When you discredit decades of work carried out by doctors from all over the world based solely on your opinion, then you're calling them a lot more than complete morons. Just implicitly. I wouldve liked this debate a lot more if you'd been a little open minded about it. Oh well. | ||

"And I've been talking about outdoor smoke this entire time. =/ Why would I talk about indoor smoke levels when there is a ban on smoking in indoor public places ?" | ||

I never said you said this. I said if you honestly believe that there aren't people saying this you should open your ears. I do know a large number of people say this. I also know a large number of people say the exact opposite. This is a point I already mentioned in an earlier post. I think both groups are misinformed, and both need to be educated. But people get educated only when they're willing to be, and when they're reasonable enough to concede the other party might be right at least on some fronts. | ||

It's that with the current ban on smoking indoors the danger for most people(those of us not hanging around smoke filled houses) is fairly minute. A great number of people are under the impression that a smoker is negatively effecting their health in a big way and it simply is not the case because of the nature of outdoor circulation of air. I'm trying to say that that isn't really the case. Treating people who smoke rudely based on an incorrect understanding of the dangers of second hand smoke is silly. People should not be treated poorly just because people are misinformed. | ||

Parents with children should not smoke near them under any circumstances. Exposure to tobacco smoke outdoors is equal to and in some circumstances even higher than indoors. Not really as bad as a house filled with smoke but bad nonetheless. In fact, if you smoke outdoors near people you should make an effort to not have them downwind.  | ||

Its a shame ive never been yelled at for smoking, mexico is not that nazi yet, but i do hope someday somebody will so i can then proceed to blow my smoke on his face. PS: seeing a female tit is unhealthy for a children minds and i dont want my kids to see that, you are infringing my civil liberties by exposing your private parts to my underaged kids ffs! (i obviously dont belive that its just the same position about "you are infringing my rights" fanatism banning others liberties for my dumb tantrums) | ||

I think it's bad that it is enforced on privately owned businesses as it infringes on reasonable personal freedoms but that is another argument entirely.

Not sure what value that added to this thread, but I felt the need to get that out there. OK go on! I quit smoking! too so yeah... | ||
