Money, money, money. Lobbyists don't get paid the big bucks to be ethical good people.

And it's not like we don't have people and substances pouring over the border every day. All it would do is open up a new fresh market for black market trading and mules. Everyone will always be allowed to bring in their personal amount, so people will just pay others to walk them across the border.

But smoking weed is ok, right?

I mean, we're only talking about cigarette smoke, right?

I'm searching up and down, left and right, and don't see what bill OP is referring to. Anyone care to post a link?

Stubborn denial and absurdity causes ignorance. Should ban you from posting.

Cooking causes fires so ban it?

Many people know that smoking is considered the nation’s leading preventable cause of death. But it is less widely known that cigarettes also are the leading cause of fatal fires, responsible for about a quarter of all U.S. fire deaths. Often, the 1,000 victims each year are not just smokers who drifted off to sleep, but children and other innocent bystanders. Cigarette fires cause close to 1,000 deaths and 3,000 injuries each year in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). As the ignition source in fires responsible for over 20% of all fire deaths, cigarettes are the nations largest single cause of such deaths. Property losses alone are over half a billion dollars. The economic costs in health care and productivity losses, and the human costs of pain and suffering raise total annual costs to an estimated $4 billion dollars.

Why not go for it...
Restrict it at home too.

how about restricting certain sex acts in home too?

If your sex would give
a lung cancer to onlookers, then sure,
Lets restrict it.

second hand smoke is less dangerous that carpeting

Why not just ban the sale of cigarettes in the US? Why can these be sold if no one wants to even think of the smoke?

Your smoke leaches to the nex apartment and make people sick.
Yo wanna die, your choice but endangering others is not your right.

Condos, apartments, townhomes.. anything connected.

Ban.

Why you all defend a stupid habit like smoking and then say POC tend to smoke is just amazing.

I doubt the OP is from DC. Sounds like a RWNJ.

I'm thinking of all those Bernie bros I saw at a rally, smoking cigarettes.

OP sounds more like a RWNJ than a Bernie Bro....

And you sound more like a troll, troll.

Who cares what their political affiliation is...they're slow suicidal polluters who put everyone at risk.
