CBS Evening News: Beantown Widens Its Effort To Get Its Residents To Kick The Habit; Now Taking Aim At Cigar Bars

I don''t smoke and don''t like to be around smoke, but these people are smoking in a SMOKING BAR! Unless you walk in there, how are they bothering you?

Some people really need to smoke. They are not going to get intoxicated or violent from smoking. They aren''t going to join a smoking gang and attack people. They just want to smoke a cigar, a pipe, or a cigarette. There are much worse thing a person can do.

I say let them alone. The business owner is providing a service by giving smokers a place they are welcome. Everyone needs to socialize.

There is nothing positive about this subject. Smoking is STUPID. Next...

When liquor was banned the Kennedys made a fortune. They''ll probably open a bunch of smoke-easies now and make another fortune.

There is a HUGE difference between sitting next to someone eating fettuccini alfredo and someone sucking on a cancer stick. There is a HUGE difference between SUVs and a drunk driver in a Lincoln Continental. Nope, your logic is still flawed. There are other ways to get tax money then off the doomed. Alcohol is a no brainer. I have better sense than to put alcohol into my body. Fresh water and natural juices are just fine for me. I''m not addict.

Obama smokes and also funding for the increased children''s health insurance plan that covers children up to 19 as well as their families if the parents do not work is paid for by increase in the Cigarette TAx of 1 dollar.

If fewer people smoke, taxes will be taken out to pay for this plan.

The logic of smokers is failed. You can "choose to come into this place" but you may not smoke around me. I choose life. If you want to die, choking to death on the fluid in your lungs and perish that''s YOUR choice. Don''t let me choke on your stink and that includes your hair, your breath and your nasty clothes. Everything about you stinks. Kill yourself at home and in your car with all the windows rolled up. You look like idiots smoking the things; I would be ashamed to do it in public. I hope they ban them. It would do you some good. Then you could use the money to clean yourself up so you don''t smell. It''s all good!
