Boobs in Belmont
January 30th 2009 13:22
Belmont, California has come up with a new way to squash the rights of it's residents. At least in one apartment complex. Compliments of a few whiners who still believe that "second hand smoke kills", the residents are no longer allowed to smoke legal cigarettes in their own homes.
Remember folks, California is the state where doctors routinely prescribe marijuana for "medical reasons." One of my own cousins has such a prescription and stays stoned all the time so he doesn't have to get a job. And the "doctor" says it's O.K.! But the same cousin puts on an impressive performance of gasping and wheezing pitifully at the sight of a legal cigarette.
The old saying used to be that your home was your castle. Now we have the anti-smoking Nazis who can invade our privacy and prevent us from engaging in legal activities behind our own doors. I'll bet nobody complains when B.O. (B.S.) lights up!
It seems very strange to me that the Supreme Court "found" the Constitutional right to murder children under a "privacy" clause that doesn't actually exist, but nobody will allow legal cigarette smokers the "right" to privacy when they want a cigarette in their own cars or homes. But then I'm not a liberal or a Democrat so common sense and logic matter to me.
I'm a little curious, though, how all the non-smokers (cigarette haters, believers that "second hand smoke kills") were able to vote for a smoker. I guess they twisted themselves into political pretzels again to make allowances for their favorite liberal that would be deemed nothing less than criminal if a Republican did it.
Their duplicity and dishonesty are absolutely stunning. Their hypocrisy is boggling.

Second hand smoke is dangerous to many of us. I suffer it more and more the older I get. I'ts not just something in my head, it's real. Get that straight.
If you rent your home you need to be respectful of the owner and of those who must clean it after you leave. New paint and carpets, curtains etc. are expensive. Do you want to pay for that as well as for your cigarettes? Somebody has to.
Will the cleaning person be ill after it's all done?
Who will have to pay thier medical bills, if they have the guts to seek medical attention? Who pays for their time off work? This is not something in my head, it's real. Get that straight.
Smoking is a choice. It is not a "right". Rights are inborn
by the mere fact that we are who we are "human beings and children of God". If smoking were a right we would all have been born with the need for nicotine smoke to live. Instead we are born with the need for oxygen in order to live. No air, no life. All living things need it. That is a right. This is not something in my head. It's real. Get that straight.
By all means, smoke, it thats what you want to do. Just remember that we all, even smokers, need fresh, clean air to live. And please, don't take my right of fresh air away from me when you do smoke.
Do it in YOUR home and in YOUR car with the windows up. Thanks.

Smokers have rights. Smoking is not one of them. Smoking is a choice not a "right". There is a philosophical difference between "right" and "choice".
Smoking kills. First hand, second hand, third hand - it is deadly to more than a few.
