Hmm I'm used to seeing smokers with Mountain Dew and cheap beer while yelling at their baby daddy/baby momma or one of their five children.

Eventually, cigarette smoke was banned in public buildings, but lots of people still smoked. Eventually, I started to have a hard time breathing, and would routinely lose my voice around cigarette smoke. Again, this was viewed as my problem. Cigarette smoke is more than a nuisance for a lot of us. In my experience, smokers are some of the most selfish people that I've ever met. Thank God most people don't smoke anymore (at least around here).


Kind of like entitled dog owners!


Hear hear!

Listen - I come from a place where it is way, waaaaay more common for people to smoke. And for people to start smoking at a young age, and smoke until they die. You are in a special snowflake DC bubble, where hardly anyone smokes, so you feel like you have a right to freak out when someone dares to do it around you.

Smoking is gross, but it's legal and it's up to you to figure out how to deal with it. Close your windows and suck it up, buttercup.


+1. Smoking in the DMV is such a non-issue. Not a lot of people smoke, and there's comprehensive smoking bans in every local jurisdiction. Some people just like to find something to complain about I guess.

Same with fat people.


You can't go down this road. Overweight people, smokers, sun worshippers, skinny fat people, sedentary people, people who overtrain-- anyone who causes their own health problems should be denied Health Care? Stupid idea


NP. they shouldn't get denied health care, but their premiums should be higher for the obese and smokers. Smokers do pay more under my plan. Anyone can be overweight due to genetics or a health issue, obese is entirely your doing though.

What are you, a socialist who thinks everyone should get health care? Not just the people DCUM deems acceptable?


Bring on the DCUM Death Squad!
