Poll question: Should tobacco be made illegal?
Advertisements [?]
I've been on the wagon for 9 days and I'm still pissed at the world. I say we ban tobacco. We can put all of the displaced tobacco workers to work in chewing gum and sunflower seed factories. Lord knows there will be an increased demand for those products. We can put all of the tobacco executives in jail for crimes against humanity.

God this is making me crazy. Part of the reason for that is that I have to ride in the same truck for 7 hours with a guy who smokes. I never understood how infuriating second hand smoke could be until I quit smoking. I find myself holding my breath when a little cloud of smoke comes my way now. There is nothing I can do to stop the guy from smoking, but to his credit he cut it down to 2 an hour when he learned I was quitting instead of chain smoking like he usually does. I've seen that guy smoke 5 cigarettes in a row one after the other so the current situation is an improvement.
