Translation: you don't smell those things ever. |
Why are low income people smoking pot? Pot is expensive. You're not very logical, OP. It's like your struggling mightily to make a point or something but just aren't … bright .. enough to do so successfully. |
so you’ll be happy when poc get evicted . Gotcha |
1 - go run for office if you don't like the shit that's going down. 2 - go take a look at the CDC's website cause you got some misinformation about 2ndhand smoke https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/secondhand_smoke/health_effects/index.htm 3 - get off the web and go take a drag cause you are obviously overemotional due to nicotine-withdrawal |
Yeah, I'm good with that. I'm assuming they'll have a huge incentive to stop, though, so the public health will benefit. |
| Black parent and VA native here. AAs and other POC already have higher rates of asthma (I have a child with asthma, and had it myself, despite no smokers around). So I count this as a good thing. |
| Bad science was used to justify smoking bans https://slate.com/technology/2017/02/secondhand-smoke-isnt-as-bad-as-we-thought.html |
Uh no, as a POC I'd like my right to live in my home without smelling your sick sh!t. Seriously dude, stop dragging POC and low income people into your disgusting, yet idiotic argument. |

If smoke stayed inside the four walls of the smoker's apartment, then I'd be against banning it. Unfortunately, that disgusting poison spreads everywhere and is basically impossible to contain.
And, as the parent of a young child with asthma, who lives in an apartment with neighbors who smoke - the smell was masked by air freshener when we toured the apartment and signed the lease - I am absolutely thrilled at this news. Secondhand smoke is a major factor in SIDS, childhood asthma, etc. It is a very serious health hazard for anyone within 50 feet of it. The only way to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke is to push smokers into spaces where the smoke can't harm other people. If you're going to live near other people, you can't poison them. |
perhaps if gays or fat people were treated like third class citizens they’d change their ways? |
| So much great stuff coming from this legislature. Now repeal right to work! |
who do you think will be most affected by this ban? You realize being homeless is the consequences. Do you really hate smokers that much ? |
| You people celebrating this are fascists . |
Would smokers rather be homeless than stop smoking? According to you, yes. Perhaps they ought to work on their priorities. |
Yeah it's gonna be a rack of homeless people on the street because of this ban...sure. Okay great prognosticator. Take your Miss Cleo crystal ball and go stand on the corner with a Newport in your mouth and a sign warning everybody of the massive homeless crisis to come since you're so adamant. |
