If they are using the flavored stuff, the smell is almost worse than tobacco.

LOL. Do you often punch people in the face if they light a cigarette near you outside in public?
I've slapped a cigarette out of someone's mouth before. That was fun.
How did she react? :pop:

A friend of mine used to ash his cigarettes on/try to burn holes through the shirts of people at bars who were acting like aholes while they were turned away.

Not the most honorable thing to do, but I enjoyed it very much and is what I miss most about pre-smoking ban life...as a non smoker.

Agreed. I use flavorless. I take 4-5 puffs and I'm done.

Smoking in your house with kids: jagoff move
Smoking in your car with kids: jagoff move
Smoking within close proxomity of the doorway at work (or wherever): jagoff move

Smoking anywhere else outside: fair game

I have one relative you uses some with a very strong flavor, and it irritates my eyes much more than other relatives who vape without flavor. Maybe there's an irritant in the flavoring.

It should be like alcohol. Cannot use in public.

Guilty of #3 at work, but it's not a main entrance and there's usually no one else around.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling especially rebellious, I'll even smoke standing inside and blow the smoke out the door.

I love being able to go to the park and buy a beer from the city sanctioned food/beverage vendor. Or take my own.

It's perfectly civilized.

Sidewalks and parks. Basically what alcohol in most places is. Which would mean you could really only smoke at home, in private bar establishments or other like places.

It was referring to the "no smoking in public" idea. Its not a good one. If someone is in open air and not near children or a building entrance then why should they not be able to?

Are you advocating that Big Brother create such laws?

Actually it is legal in historic district Savannah, but only in that section of town.

Will Cruz go after the eventual nominee to the point of real damage? It seems possible.

You are going to be so disappointed when, in six or seven months, the GOP suddenly rallies around Jeb Bush. The other GOP presidential hopefuls will release a single, "We are the World, Part II", which will become one of the best-selling singles on iTunes of all time, with guest vocals from Hank Williams Jr., George Strait, and Kid Rock.
