SMOKE AND IRE OVER FREE JAVA - New York Post

I was not sure where to post this in which forum, so feel free to move I saw this in my local paper this morning.

i was kind of shocked and confused.

I guess NYC has some odd laws here.

The article is good but not as good as the common sense banter underneath it.

Man, this stuff is nuts.

I posted a response to one of the people who commented on there. It was an interesting article.

Let me toss a little cannon fader out there for others to use.

Things that contain known carcinogens:

Hot dogs, bacon, Sausage, Doughnuts, French fries, Crackers and cookies. Almost all processed meats, pickles, smoked foods, cheese, beer and tinned fish.

The following contain Nicotine:

Tobacco, Celery, Papaya, Coca, Walnut, and Potatoes

So, if some one justifies the banning of smoking because it contains a carcinogen or nicotine then they should be aware of everything else that they eat the also contain carcinogens and nicotine.

Can everyone say "governmental intrusion?", lest we forget, there is a certain segment of the population who will happily and blindly give away our rights, and theirs as well in return for the mere perception of a kinder, healthier world...for the children.
