  3. WHEN will these know-it-all egotistical windbags STOP interfering in our personal lives?? I don't smoke. Never have. But I resent some politician who thinks he knows how I should live or raise my children...Is next years agenda a bill to prohibit smoking IN YOUR HOUSE??? They (theiving politicians) don't have REAL issues to deal with??? They get a paycheck for THIS crap??? They should hang their heads in shame, but as we all know, they have none...

  5. Both of my parents smoked when I was a kid. They didn't roll the windows down in the car and smoked in the house...it was the normal thing to do. I developed asthma as a child, and take medication to this day. If only we knew !
