The Politics of the Personal Smokestack

Politicians and other non-scientific types debate such theoretical problems like the concept of
"Global Warming" and doubt our civilizations ability to judge those things,
therefore creating a doubt as to the validity of those ideas, but also casting doubt on other
"already proven" scientific facts.
BUT- air pollution and it's existence cannot be debated. It exists.

Nearly 100 Million Breathing Particulates - EPA

Notice, that the GW squad wants to talk about the non-issue of some "pseudo-science theory", but
seems resolved to not try to improve the quality of the air we breathe. It's much easier to preach
the debunking of "Global Warming", since REAL air pollution 100%, for-sure exists-(and like I said,
he won't seem to do anything about it!)

So- what pisses me off, is all the effort our fellow citizens put into their "stop smoking" bullshit.
Yes- I agree the everyone should be able to express their ideas, except when it comes to infringing
upon other peoples freedoms.
I mean, you'll never convince me- with a million "smoking white lies" TV spots and the heaviest handed
propaganda, that a single smoker makes enough smoke to endanger someone else's life.
To me, that is the essence of the problem. Instead of going after the general health risk
for ALL OF US, we seem to want to go after the individual. Since smoking is so "icky"...
You can believe whatever "research" that the anti-smoking lobby throws at you. I think there
are a big bunch of well meaning people in the anti-smoking movement. But they won't seem to
take a "thanks, but I'll keep puffing" for an answer.
And the REAL PISSER for a non-smoker like me is, I just get sick of hearing it!!
I wish the fuck all of you on both sides would join forces and get the pollution out of our
air- so we really could have a choice.

My argument is this: stop all cigarette and tobacco smoke, go ahead and include the pot smokers,
freebasers and crack smoking. I mean just shoot anyone caught smoking ANYTHING.
That glorious task accomplished- we'd still all be breathing SHIT!
Take away all our freedoms, right or wrong, make all the choices for us, and we still
have so many fucking particles in the air where I live that it'll seriously hurt me
for as long as I live.

You can regulate the "personal smokestack" all you fucking want, the individual once again
gets screwed..... While the real problem burns on. If you want to help all of us, then
stop air pollution, until then, you're just blowing smoke up your own asses!
