With it being so politically incorrect to hate people because of their color and/or sexual preference, the hate mongers in this country have decided to put a new target at the fore front of their hate filled attacks. Smokers.
The people at the front of the second hand smoke argument continue to raise their agenda to ridiculously high levels every year. These people use agenda fueling propaganda in their arguments that have no scientific data to support their arguments.
Just once I would appreciate reading or hearing an argument from the second hand smoke Nazi's that was supported by a fact. Sure, they spew their arguments to Congress and we have all heard the garble spewing from their imaginations, but have they come close to hitting the nail on the head so to speak? No.
I will base my arguments on facts. I have no Agenda here, besides holding those with nothing better to do but stick their noses in others business in complete contempt. Before I begin to state the FACTS, I will give you my information...
I am a smoker. I do so because I enjoy it. It does not bother me to not be able to smoke in public. I save money by not going to bars and restaurants by staying at home. The health risk I am taking, admittedly, by smoking, is evened out by the fact that I do not eat any garbage that they serve at these restaurants. With that said... how exactly do you spot a Smoking hate monger? Well, that is easy and I shall show you clearly and with actual facts to back up my data and conclusions.
The best way to spot one of these hate mongers is by their "factual" listing that over 3,000 people die every year by second hand smoke. Once a Second Hand Smoke Nazi utters this phrase, you should be very wary of anything they continue to say about the subject.
Fact- In December of 1992 the EPA released a 600 page document titled "Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and other disorders." Anyone can get a copy of this report by calling 1-800-438-4318 and requesting document EPA/600/6-90/006F.
The EPA document is generally regarded as the '93 EPA study as it was widely available in 1993. This document states that 3,000 deaths a year are caused by Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS/ Second Hand Smoke). It states that second hand smoke is a Class A carcinogen. This document was and still is the number one weapon in the Second Hand Smoke Nazi's arsenal.
If a smoker is only hurting himself, it is no one's business... but if others are
