PUBLIC SMOKING RANT


[+] serious ballot by Syneil
created Tue Feb 22, 05

fairly safe to assume that anyone smoking in the streets of western "civilisation" is aware of what it's doing both to themselves and everyone else on the street around them. And yet.. there they are, puffing away, in full knowledge that they are killing themselves, and more importantly the people around them. How can we take that other than they are doing it deliberately to cause harm to passers-by? And that is an attack.

Analogy: imagine a world where patting people on the back releases toxins into their bloodstream, which, over time will cause them to die a slow and painful agonizing death. Not only that though, it also releases the toxins into the patter's bloodstream. If someone on this world went around the streets patting people on the back (because it gives them some vague sense of security, they think it makes them cool etc) we'd kick their asses on sight!

I call on all non-smokers to attack public smokers on sight (I leave it up to you to decide what form of attack you use), it is, after all, self-defence.

The question then: Am I over-reacting?

Yes
No
Can't decide / Neither

COMMENTS:
Well, if u attack them, u will be prosecuted. That said, I definetly think smoking should be banned in ALL indoor facilities. The real solution would be to bann it alltogether, but then, what about those already addicted? Tobacco revenue? It will never happen, unfortunately, but it should be illegal in all indoor facilities at a minimum.

Ever get stuck with a lit butt? Jesus H. Christ, you can't even smoke outside nowadays?

If you want to attack something, how about taking on one of those semi-trailers that belch smoke down the street?

Being addicted to nicotine is a serious addition. Instead of attacking people who were conned into becoming addicts at an early age, why not attack the multi-national corporations, who damage the lives of millions, and attack the scumbag politicians who work for them?

Responses pretty much what I expected :o)

I would vote this, my vote, as Yes, I am over-reacting.

However, a point or two: I'm not saying smoking outside should be banned, I'm suggesting smoking in public should be banned. In one's own home it's up to you, although if another member of the household were to object that should be accounted for, maybe go in the back garden if you have one.

it's a very tricky issue; a outright ban is implausible due to the number of addicts already at large, but something clearly has to be done.

imho

some people worry about making smokers social outcasts.

My response: Good.

Does this make me bad/evil?
by Syneil on Wed Feb 23, 05 11:22am [+]

Lol! I love this ballot and no that does not make you bad or evil in fact I would say it makes you good :)
