The smoking one is good, second hand smoke sucks, even if it dosnt have health affects (which it obviously does, but some say it dosnt) its not a pleasent smell or feeling for people that don't smoke, and the people that work at a place where there is smoking.

I don't mind it being outlawed inside. The thing I have a problem with is the 25 feet rule and the add campaigns that my tax money is paying for. Take a look at this

What message is this websight sending? To not smoke? To not smoke because you might get bad breath? This may be what people are claiming. The underlying message is not to prevent kids from smoking, but to paint a portrait of smokers that will influence the people watching, especially kids. So, a young kid watching will see this(the add airs on tv too), and will inherit an image of smokers that will make them prejedice towards them. If they learn somebody is a smoker, they will think of them as disgusting and not deserving of respect. It's propaganda. The nazi's did the same thing to Jewish people, and now their doing it to smokers. whether or not you like smoking, you have to look at this as what kind of mesage it's sending. If you play the game, you'll see a quote saying "well atleast I'm not kissing a smoker." It's blatent and discriminating.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
By the way-We're going to the superbowl!!!!!!!!!
