Norway finds smoking to be a human right

I guess being free from having to inhale other people's habits is not a human right.

If smoking is a human right, then so is holding people down with force and making them eat your feces.

Enjoy an early death, jerk :lol

:lol your gonna Die (But I'm gonna go first) :(

Your making me die, with that disgusting avatar.

Smoking Cigarettes (not cigars) is a stupid habit. I hate seeing the Gov't banning it though. I'm just a civil liberties nut. :/

People should be allowed to do things that are hazardous to there health, just as long as they don't fuck with anybody elses. By making more laws against smoking, were just asking for civil unrest.

so you must not think 2nd hand smoke is bad.

In enclosed places it is. But banning in all public places, like ireland did, is just fucking rediculous.

I Hate the smell of cigarette smoke, I don't even let people smoke in my car. But like I said, I'm a civil liberties nut. I don't want to live in a country where big brother is telling me what I can and can't smoke/drink.

There's been a lot of hoopla around smoking over here the last year. There are some parties who want to outlaw it completely, others just want to reduce the number of places you're allowed to smoke. I'm all for letting people do it in their homes and anywhere outside as long as isn't not at a gas station or anything, but I kinda have to agree with the no-smoking-in-bars law that's being put to practice next month. I don't mind the smoke myself, but it really trashes the health of the people who have to work there.

You're not allowed to smoke in any public places in Winnipeg anymore, and the provincial government is thinking of making the ban province-wide. :)

It's great. I can go out now and come home without smelling like an ashtray. :)

"I can go out now and come home without smelling like an ashtray."

You still do. :lol

:/ - Ontario is planning a province-wide ban as well.

What would be a province-wide ban? Does tha mean that it would be banned/outlawed totally?

I sorta agree on the bars thing too. But I also think its up to the owner of the estabolishment. We live in the INFORMATION age. Everyone knows the risk of smoking and being around a lot of smokers. If you don't want to work around alot smokers in a bar because your afraid you won't live to be 80, WORK IN A FUCKING FACTORY.

Its about time people start taking responcibilty for there own short comings. >:

word. also, if your going to poison your liver, why are you freaking out about your lungs?

Carbon monoxide's billowing out of cars outdoors and people are worried about a little cigarette smoke outdoors too? I'm a former smoker but, unlike the other converted, non-smoking, used-to-smoke health zealots, I leave the smokers alone as long as it's not in an enclosed area.

Province-wide is the same as state-wide. The ban on smoking would extend to all public places in the province. :)

What a business owner wants to allow or disallow in their establishment should be up to them, not the government (at least in America).

Smoke-free bars exist, and no one HAS to work in a pro-smoker bar.That said, I'ma go out and light one up.

:/ - Indeed, and I like to add outdoor public places like patios are exempt, which is the only loop hole in such smoking bans.

will you over-reactive numb-nuts just let people smoke where they want ferchrissakes? i can understand not wanting it in an enclosed space, but bitching about how you're breathing in the occasional second-hand out in open air is ridiculous and shows you buy into and are more scared into what TV campaigns tell you than you really should be.

Or smokers could wear little domes to keep all their by-products to themselves.

or you could make them wear a special insignia on their shirt...like say a little black lung....and then round them all up and move them into a huge area that is surrounded by razor wire...like Utah....and they could be with others of their ilk and smoke to their hearts content....untill they all drown in their own mucus or die of cancer or heart attacks....then we could round up all of the fat people.........................................

I RESIST YOUR SARCASM. >:
