Anti-Smoking lobby and political correctness etc

[Imran Siddiqui]

You can try to dance your way around this but in the end you and i both know that the two do not even compare.
Smoking kills and that's all it does.

What Bull****. Of course they compare. Alcohol kills you just as fast as smoking... if you don't believe me look at the livers of people who have been drinking their entire lives. Alcohol is a POISON. Just because it may help in other areas doesn't make it any less of a poison.

And if you actually think people drink to 'help their hearts' you are incredibly naive.

I am as safe as can be ina world of internal combustion.

So you don't drive in cars ever? Because every time you do... you polute the air I breath.

No, Ihave never owned a car, nor do I have a license, never having had to learn.

Cars can be created to be non poluting... so again, this a matter of PC crap only. People want their big cars... but now a majority don't like smokers... PC BABY

You defintion of PC is trully out there. I, unlike you, appreciate difference, and don;t see everything through some twisted prisim in which the internal combustion engine, which has revolutionized mankind, all of a sudden is to be fully equated with burning noxious weeds for the narcotics you might inhale from the smoke, simply becuase both processes happen to create harmfull chemicals. Maybe I am just weird, but I note a slight difference in this two things.

I am all for significant chnages in the law forcing better gas milege, and a big push towards other improvements in the technology of transportation. And thus, I also support curtailing smoking. It is NOt political correctness, it is political expediency. Take the victories you can get when you can get them.
