Third hand smoke- the inhalation of smoke expelled from the lungs of someone who inhaled the smoke from the exhale of someone smoking. Its a serious problem folks.

Freedom, man. These people are free to move to single family dwellings or move to another city or state. Freedom is awesome! Just like coal miners choose to work in deplorable conditions and sweatshops are simply offering a choice to children held at gunpoint and chained to chairs, the city of Santa Monica is simply offering a choice.

Freedom, man!

I smelled cig smoke once in 93. luckily I was able to beat the cancer it gave me.

I'm just glad my city is looking out for me

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Smoking anything other than medically-prescribed marijuana at San Francisco street fairs, festivals and other outdoor events held on city property would be banned under new legislation before the Board of Supervisors.

Supervisor Eric Mar said he introduced the proposal because of the health impacts of secondhand smoke when people light up in public.

“It’s widely known that secondhand smoke is responsible for as many as 73,000 deaths among non-smokers each year in the United States, and there is no safe level of exposure,” he said.



I like how "secondhand smoke" has morphed from living with someone who smokes constantly indoors/a bar full of smoke/a plane full of smoke to smelling smoke somewhere. People actually think they get cancer from sniffing someone's cig walking down the street? eyeroll icon

but at least it gives me another chance to rant about the insane asshole gov, who sued the cig companies (because they kill people!) and got a shit-ton of money which they spent on whatevertf the wanted, thus allowing cig companies to sell their addictive products unchanged (still got that lovely arsenic/rocket fuel/etc in em) without any risk of future lawsuit. thanks gov! We're so much safer now! Can't wait til the pass more taxes on cigs in order to make up for the drop in cig sales due to this new law!

buried in the highway bill is a rule crushing roll-your-own tobacco stores. I guess killing jobs = creating jobs these days

"I feel it's kind of shaky,'' Wiessen said. "The man who pushed for this bill is Sen. (Max) Baucus from Montana, and he received donations from Altria, a parent company of Philip Morris. Interestingly enough, there are also no RYO machines in the state of Montana. It really makes me question the morals and values of our elected speakers."

Buy a house or don't live in Santa Monica if you want to smoke in an apartment building or condo.

is the gov using eminent domain to seize smokers' houses yet? it's for the good of all after all.

Or one could just be free to choose to live or not live in a smoking or nonsmoking establishment.

Go live somewhere other than America if you want to be free?

hey, I probably hate America almost as much as you. I was just pointing out that your "move somewhere else if you dont like it" argument kind of goes both ways. Ya dig?

once we kill the child people will realize how bad second-hand smoke is

I lit a smoke at the Mike Grimm show and some woman turned and said OMG you cant smoke. I pointed south and said Pussyafornia is that way, this is Nevada. And the bars never close.

Why not? All 3 are impractical
