Default Careless smoker starts fire

Well, another cruise ship incident.
Has anyone heard of a non-smoking cruise ship?
On our last cruise we had to wet towels and place them over our mouth
and noses in order to get to our cabin which was next to a cabin that
had two elderly ladies that would leave their door open to exhaust
their smoke. After complaining they were told that they had to leave
the door closed. It helped a bit, but smoke still wafted out from the
bottom of the door.
Now I'm thinking how lucky we were after reading about the latest fire
that those two old ladies didn't fall asleep while smoking.
btw, they smoked all day and all night. I would imagine they smoked
at least four packs a day each.

Another anti-smoking Nazi!

Think about it. How many smokers are there among how many passengers
aboard all the cruises in a year's time, and how many fires have there
been started by smokers? Now, think about the number of smokers aboard
all the passengers on flights in the U. S. before smoking was totally
banned on domestic flights. How many fires were there aboard planes?
Think about all the passengers aboard all the overseas flights and the
number of smokers in those passengers. How many fires have there been
aboard overseas flights?

I am a non-smoker, but I get very hot about you Nazi's trudging on
everyone's rights just because you think you know better how we/they
should conduct our lives. And, yes, I've been on those overseas flights
numerous times, and I flew many times per year on domestic flights
before smoking was totally banned. So, I do have a bit of experience.

Get off our backs!

By the way, the one fatality from this careless smoker was and old dude who
had a heart attack! He might have died on the ship looking at some young
stuff by the pool!

How are anti smokers Nazis? Some of the reasons for real Nazi
persecution were questionable. Being against smoking is for the good
of all. The evidence shows that smoking kills people whether they are
the actual smoker or not. Remember the rights of smoker trash end where
mine begin. If I have to breathe that filth my rights are being
violated. It's sad some people never got past thumb/binky sucking and
need to have something in their mouth. Maybe its just latent Brokeback
syndrome. Its a shame smokers take so long to die from the smoke

Wrong. YOUR rights end when I decide to light up.

Have a nice day and enjoy the secondary cancer I truly hope you get.

Youre a typical smoker P.O.S. Go enjoy a fag (I wonder why they call
them that)?

When you think that you know better how to run my life than I do, you
become a Nazi in my book. Your statement "Being against smoking is for
the good of all." is evidence of that.

I'm sick to death of all these people who think they can and should run
everyone else's life.

I'm not a smoker, either. But, if someone's smoking offends me, as long
as they are not doing it in a No Smoking area, I move. They have just
as much right to be there and smoke as I do to be there and not smoke.

Give me a link to an absolutely irrefutable study or document that
proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that second hand smoke causes cancer
(the usual claim of the anti-smoking crowd). I live with a smoker, and
I worked in close quarters with smokers most of my life. I visited and
worked in several countries in Europe, as well as mainland China, and
many of the citizens of those countries are heavy smokers, and do so in
all kinds of environments--restaurants, offices, etc.. Yet, I'm 71 and
have not contracted lung or esophageal cancer.

BigJim,

Let's take this to the next step, shall we? (Following up on Kurt's
comment "One thing at a time...")

It is frequently stated by the media that obesity is rampant in the U.
S.. Further, it is also stated that health care costs are increasing
because of the care required by the seriously obese. Isn't that an
illustration of someone else's bad habits affecting me adversely
(certainly my financial health)?

Now, how do you feel about all the people who are going after McDonalds
and the other fast food purveyors, because it is alleged that fast food
is a major contributing factor to this obesity epidemic? How do you
feel about someone taking that Big Mac or Whopper out of your mouth.
What about that slice of Domino's pizza? Or, that double scoop of
Haagen-Das?

If rule makers and law makers have the power to take away one right,
what will stop them from taking away other rights? Just as Kurt said...

"One thing at a time..."
