Yet another classy anti.

Leandro Reyes, 21, and Hannah Miller were outside the tavern having cigarettes along with others from the establishment, when Arneson, who knows Reyes as a schoolmate from Madison Area Technical College, came by.
Arneson, the criminal complaint against him says, told another female smoker, “You really shouldn’t be smoking.”
Reyes later told police he responded to [...]

ASH advocates for banning smoking in all homes

I’m not sure what sort of lunacy is driving this, but I can’t rightly say that any of this makes sense.
A clear majority wants smoking banned in all homes, even if children are not present, and even if the smoke is not drifting into an adjoining dwelling.
This could expand the latest front in the war [...]

Wow! Smoker hater of the week

Ok, I had a tough time with this one, because the three comments posted to this article about the new PA ban made me feel ill with anger over the piss-poor attitudes of people. But the last comment is what put me over the top. The nerve of people. This is PRECISELY what I am [...]

Why not call it what it is? Discrimination.

Yes, Sarasota, Florida has figured out how to legally discriminate against people they don’t like.
Smokers.
It’s funny, a strict Christian bookstore can’t discriminate against gays. God help you if you discriminate against blacks. Disabled in any way? Better take out that loan so you can make appropriate accomodations for your new employee. But smoke? You’re boned.
Yes, [...]

Smoker hater of the week award: Tyler

Second-hand smoke concerns me, and the way that some people may not take it as serious.
People can’t help that they smoke, [...]

Anti-Smoker Psychology 101

I think that I will make A-S Psych 101 a regular topic, because it’s really starting to become more and more apparent as we push forward. You start to see interesting patterns and behaviors emerge and they’re all very consistent from one person to the next.
So, I think it’s time to start chronicling them. After [...]

Pipe smoking and a little ACS insight

First off, I will disclose that I am known to smoke a pipe from time to time. It’s a family tradition that I keep up. I inherited several of my father’s pipes including a beautifu calabash pipe (like Sherlock Holmes’ pipe) that my grandmother purchased in England many decades ago.
Well, now that I got that [...]

Inch by Inch – Smoker Hater of the Week Awardee

We say over and over again that once the floodgates are opened that the antismokers will want more and that it won’t stop. Always remember that the overall goal of these guys is smoking cessation and control, not public health like they claim. They’re looking down the barrel of this loaded gun in Albuquerque…
From KOB:

The “Friendly” anti-smoker

Ah yes, chalk this fine fellow up in the “Smoker Hater of the Week” award top ten.
Mr. Warren Schmidt, Esquire wrote this “fine” retort to a rather civilized discourse regarding smoking bans and health care costs over on the Wausau Daily Herald:
“I love it how all of you pro smoking pinheads carry disdain for the [...]
