I'm sure your comments will make all the non smokers much happier as they
sit on their balconies breathing in your fumes. After all, you have the
right to since there are no regulations against it.

My solution to non smokers who don't like smokers is to BUY ALTRA stock.
You may even grow to love them.

You inhale too many fumes? You can't even spell the name of the
criminal company you are touting.

Like my smoker co-worker who has not worked for three months now
because he has to take oxygen due to diminished lung capacity from
years of smoking. Possibly he will never be back to work. Although I
feel bad he is ill I don't feel bad about taking his job since he put
himself in that situation.

What a cold-hearted cruel ******* you are.

"Chrissy" the psychopath troll says I am cold-hearted. LOL

I was being dramatic to make a point, which is true from what I have
seen from friends, family and co-workers who smoke, that the enjoyment
smokers get from their drug high is ruining their health over the
years. They die early or get disabled and can't work like my co-worker.
They suffer and their family suffers. I don't think that kind of
enjoyment is worth it.

You are right as usual Charles. Thanks for correcting me on the serious
typo. it should have been Altria. The dividends help pay for our
cruises. Neither I nor my husband are smokers.

I have some mutual funds that probably have some of their stock and
other companies that I personally don't care much for. In the real
world you can't avoid smokers or bad companies. I tend to be hard,
somewhat bitter, on the tobacco question because my father was a heavy
smoker which ruined his health, including having lung cancer and heart
problems. Also I had to work for several years a while ago in an
environment with a lot of second hand smoke. I noticed a difference in
my own health after the work place became smoke free.

I read a few weeks that Altria intends to spin off it's tobacco assets.

Dear Clint,
I hope you mean that is inherited (i.e.
genetic) because "heretic" is anyone who does not
conform. I guess we are both in that later class LOL.
By the way, my Dad was a 2 pack a day Lucky
Strike smoker and stopped "Cold Turkey" one day.
He carried a pack with him for two years after
that and never restarted. When he stopped he said
they were giving him a headache! It was a most
welcome change for all of us.
Cheers,
John in LALALand (80 F today with SUN!)

Anybody have any idea how much revenue the US government collects from
tobacco? More to the point, what will we non-smokers be hit with to replace
those funds should smoking stop. We may be better off standing upwind of
the "sinners". I worry that we are bitching ourselves out of billions of
dollars that others willingly spend.

It is sizeable as taxing tobacco products has been an easy target. And
you know politicians don't like losing tax revenues. If all tobacco
users in the US quit today, you can bet your butt that some new taxes
would be talked about in a hurry.

So tax revenues outweigh medical costs?
