I value my health (what little of it I have) and voted as such

I am asthmatic and I know what smoking would do to my health - which isn't great at the best of times.

A fellow local teacher is both very asthmatic and a smoker. He has to cancel almost as many lessons as he is able to give. When his students complain to me, it is very hard not to just say that he is an idiot and that they should find someone else to teach them, if they actually want to have any lessons in the near future.

I don't smoke personally, but I believe Schlueter smokes a pipe.

I have asthma and an allergy to smoke...so I don't think I'll ever smoke anything.

<storytime>

Last Tuesday before sixth hour (about 1:45pm) I went to the little ladies room at school. I walked in and was over taken by the smell of smoke...but it didn't smell like cigarettes. I did my business and washed my hands, which meant I was in the smoke for about three minutes...I tried to hang around and find out who the idiot was who would smoke pot in a school bathroom during school, but I was begginning to feel very strange and decided to go back to class. I told the teacher and sat down in my seat. I had a really bad headache, I was dizzy, and I couldn't concentrate on anything! I felt so stupid!

I hope they caught the idiot who was smoking weed in the bathroom. That's just inconsiderate, moronic, and just plain stupid to do...especially in the middle of school!

I cannot see why a trumpet player would choose to smoke. It is beyond my comprehension.

I get really nauseus (sp?) around smokers. it really sucks, at some gigs our band has, there are people that smoke. we don't play at bars or anything, but the occasional show on college campuses have quite the number of smokers and drinkers.

Smoking is just plain stupid. Why anybody would want to do it I have no idea.

Plus I have bad allergies and might have asthma(haven't been checked out yet).

As a parent I worry about the effects of the drug culture on our kids. Meth, ice, crack, black gum opium (someone please tell me why this is making a comeback, 6 arrests in our county in the past week alone) use is all escalating out of control.

Back in the good old days, I don't think I knew anyone who didn't at least try pot. Some liked it occasionally, some hated it, some didn't care and some abused it to their own detriment. But I don't remember anybody getting shot over a bag of dope, or 15 year old girls tricking to buy a dime bag. My cousin is retired DEA, and he said he longed for the old days when drug interdiction meant busting some hippie with a couple of bales in his sailboat. Today the interdiction boats get shot at regularly, and can't come up with a safe boarding approach due to the numbers of heavily armed coke dealers willing to try to shoot it out, then run for international waters.

Back to the subject. As I have said before, I smoke, and am the biggest hypocrite in the universe about it. I think it should be banned in all public places, especially resturants, and people who help minors buy cigerettes should be treated as drug dealers. It is the only legal mass produced, mass marketed product I know of that if used exactly in the manner it was designed to be used, will eventually kill you. If you don't think it is addicting, let me clue you in. I have 3 kids I love, a great wife, a good life, and everything in the world to live for. Every time I light up, I am subtracting 7 to 10 minutes from the back side of my life, and relegating the last 10 years of my life to continually deteriorating health due to smoking.

If I get beat up I don't care. Breaking the law is breaking the law and it's wrong.

We had an instance last year with someone who lit up a joint in one of the other girls bathrooms...my friend who has almost uncontrollable and lifethreatening asthma was in the same place. The smoke triggered an asthma attack and they had to call an ambulance.

Smoking pot is wrong and against the law. Breaking the law is wrong.

Yoder,

I won't care if I hurt. I would have done the right thing. Somebody has to stand up for what is right, no matter what the cost.

You, my friend, are a believer in grey areas when it comes to laws...moral relativism I believe is what it's called.

The law is the law. It is black and white. There is good and there is bad.

Since when is smoking pot a right? Just because you choose to do something doesn't make it ok or legal Using your logic, it's my right to kill someone if I want to. It's my right to steal something I want.

Pot is an illegal substance and to smoke it you are breaking the law. Smoking cigarettes in public, though very rude and inconsiderate, is perfectly fine because tobacco is a legal substance and you aren't breaking the law if you smoke it.
