A U.S. government report has indicated that second-hand smoke (passive smoking) inside airports puts air travelers and employees at risk.<br />
<br />
The thought of anyone smoking anywhere is just too much for the anti’s.&nbsp; No one mentions the amount of radiation one receives from the body scanner (which have been removed in Germany) nor the toxins of jet fuel.&nbsp; The same agency, CDC, has claimed that the air is carcogentic.&nbsp; Soon they are going to run out of ways to scare people into submission to their vision of Eutopia.<br />

<p>Cherry Hill Council members have passed an ordinance Monday night that will ban smoking in any Township-owned area.</p>
<p>The law makes it illegal to smoke on any public property, including Town Hall, the Cherry Hill Public Library, the Department of Public Works, on Township-owned trails and at any of Cherry Hill&rsquo;s 52 public parks and playgrounds.<br />
<br />
These people really drank the Kool Aid.<br />

Citizens gathered in Bulgaria’s Danube town of <b>Ruse</b> to <b>protest</b> against the full <b>smoking</b> ban imposed in the country several months ago.<br />

Gerald Hyland of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisor is trying to force county employees who smoke to take classes to help them quit.<br />
<br />
He has little to no support on this issue because almost everyone in Virginia knows about the Dillon Rule of Law.&nbsp; If the state hasn’t passed legislation on a particular issue no county, town or city in Virginia can pass a law that is different from state law.<br type="_moz" />

George Washington University officials decided to announce the coming of an on-campus smoking ban during the American Cancer Society&rsquo;s Great American Smokeout on Nov. 15. Before they could do so, dozens of students and staff members were lighting up in protest.<br />
<br />
GWU, home of ASH and John Banzhaf, really cannot enforce smoking restrictions outdoors.&nbsp; The campus of GWU is in downtown D.C. where normal people walk who can smoke all they want because there is no outdoor smoking bans.<br type="_moz" />

This weekend American’s celebrate &quot;Thanksgivings Day&quot;&nbsp; a holiday where we stuff ourselves with Turkey and then take a nap.&nbsp; We will be back next week!<br type="_moz" />

Missourian’s voted NO to a new tax on cigarettes, cell phone tax and raise gasoline taxes.&nbsp; Good for them!<br type="_moz" />

Kentucky is considering raising the tax on cigarettes by 60 cents per pack.&nbsp; Legislators appear to be brain dead:&nbsp; tobacco taxes already give the state hundreds of millions each year from the MSA and smokers pay for 10 million children’s health insurance (SCHIP).&nbsp; Enough already find something else to tax.<br />

From one of our facebook folks: Smokers, rejoice! In addition to all the scientifically proven benefits of tobacco, a new study finds that a steady lifelong habit can protect your joints when you need them most.
