Era of Impossing rights.
So it has begun. In California big brother takes hold deeply on the rights of those who wish to smoke. A clear cut case of imposeing one will over another. The fact that SMOKING IS LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES, does not matter to the oh it offends me crowd.

Smoking Ban Starts Today
CALABASAS - Life will be a drag for smokers in the city of Calabasas starting today, when a strict ban on lighting up in most outdoor spaces takes effect.
The ban, perhaps the most comprehensive smoking ban in the United States, prohibits smoking in all public places at times when other people can be exposed to secondhand smoke. Businesses can apply to create a designated smoking area far away from non-smokers starting in April.
The "Comprehensive Secondhand Smoke Control Ordinance" includes indoor and outdoor businesses, hotels, parks, sidewalks, restaurants and bars where people can be reasonably expected to congregate or meet, according to an announcement from the city of Calabasas.
People will still be allowed to smoke in their homes.
"The only exception is if your apartment, back yard or balcony is directly adjacent to a common area, such as a laundry room or pool," the city announced in a list of frequently asked questions on its Web site.
Applications for designated smoking areas will be available on the Web site some time in the beginning of April, they said.
Smokers who can't or won't kick the habit can still light up in public as long as they are "at least 20 feet away from any path of travel, doorway or place where people congregate."
If someone complains, the smoker will have to extinguish the cigarette or move, according to the ordinance.
People violating the ban will be ticketed and possibly fined. The city said it expects to rely on warnings and citations but will consider more serious penalties for willful or repeat offenders.
[ OH MY GAWD ... IF SOMEONE ASKS THEM TO PUT OUT THE CIGARETTE THEY HAVE TO BY LAW. IF THEY LIVE ADJACENT TO PUBLIC AREAS LIKE LAUNDRY ROOMS. NEXT THE SUPER SNIFFER CROWD, WHO ALREADY CLAIMS THEY CAN SMELL CIGARETTEDS FROM 1/4 MILE AWAY WILL HAVE IT BANNED IN THE HOME. WHAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF ABOUT THIS IS THAT A VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO WANT CIGARETTE SMOKING BANNED AE ALL FOR LIGHTING UP ON A FAT ROACH AND GETTING HIGH. NOW THIS IS HIGHLY OFFENSIVE AS NOT ONLY IS IT WORSE FOR YOU BUT THE SELF INDUCED SO CALLED MELLOWING EFFECT IS MORE ADICTIVE THEN NICITINE.
CALIFORNIA IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS INFRINDGEING ON THE SMOKER ..... THE KEEP UP WITH THE LIBERAL JONES, SPINELESS COLORADO LEGISLATURE HAS ALSO PASSED AN ANTISMOKING LAW. AGAIN THIS PISSES ME OFF. YOU KNOW IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE SMELL OF SMOKE THEN DO NOT. I SAY AGAIN DO NOT GO INTO A PLACE THAT ALLOWS SMOKING.
OH BUT IT ISNT HEALTHY TO SMOKE. WELL BEING SEVERAL HUNDRED POUNDS OVER WIEGHT ISNT HEALTHY EITHER BUT BEING FAT ISNT AGAINST THE LAW ....YET. HOW ABOUT PASSING A LAW THAT SAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE FAT YOU CAN NO LONGER PARK IN THE HANDICAP SPOT. BUT INSTEAD MAKE THAM PARK IN THE FAR LOT SO THAT THEY WALK OFF SOME OF THAT FAT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ELSE IS OFFENSIVE, BODY ODER. YEAH ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SWEAT, YOU STINK. MAKE IT AGAINST THE LAW TO GO OUT WITH B.O. OR WHAT ABOUT THAT HORRENDOUSE FEMALE DEODERANT FEMMINE PRODUCT SMELL. YOU EVER BEEN IN AN ELEVATOR WITH A LADY WHO HAS THAT GOING .... SHEEESH TALK ABOUT OFFENSIVE.
HOW ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO BURN WOOD IN A FIRE PLACE. HELL THATS SMOIKE TOO. IT GETS IN YOUR EYES AND STINGS. LETS MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO BURN WOOD PERIOD. NOT JUST ON RESTRICTED DAYS LIKE THEY DO IN DENVER BUT EVERYDAY. OH YEAH AND BAN NATURAL GAS TOO. THAT ROTTEN EGG SMELL IS JUST GOD AWFUL. THE PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER HAVE THAT OBNOXIOUS SMELL FORCED UPON THEM. OR WHAT ABOUT CURRY. LETS BAN ALL INDIAN RESTURANTS, CURRY NOT ONLY SMELLS BAD , BUT IF NOT COOKED RIGHT IT IS AWFUL ... AND EVEN COOKED RIGHT MANY GET A CASE OF THE TRIP TO THE CAN FROM IT.
YOU KNOW TO ALL THESE POOR OFFENDED NONSMOKERS WHY DON'T YOU SIMPLEY MAKE SMOKING ILLEGAL PERIOD INSTEAD OF DICTATIONG WHERE AND WHEN ONE CAN DO THIS LEGAL ACTIVITY. OH WAIT THAT WOULD TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM YOUR WELFARE PROGRAMS THAT YOU ARE ILLEGALLY FUNDING WITH MONIES EARMARKED FOR HEALTH CARE.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE NONSMOKING CROWD THEY CANNOT PRODUCE ONE CLEAR CUT CASE OF WHERE SOMEONE HAS DIED FROM DIRECTLY INHALEING SECOND HAND SMOKE. IT DOES NOT EXIST. AS A MATTER OF FACT GO TO THE W.H.O. WEBSITE AND READ THE RECENT STUDIES THAT DISPUTE THE CLAIM OF HARM FROM SMOKING. EARLY REPORTS FROM THE EARLY 70'S THAT ARE NOW BEING SHOWN TO BE WRONG ARE WHAT THIS FACOST ( THATS THE LIBERAL ENLIGHTENED THINKERS) ARE USEIONG.
I AM JUST WAITING TILL McDONALDS, ARBY'S, BURGER KING, ECT ARE ILLEGAL BECAUSE FAST FOOD IS BAD FOR YOU. GUESS WE SHOULD ALL BECOME VEGITARIANS AND CONASUERS OF TOFU.
