Reply #8: The Brown Skies of LA

[Harald Ragnarsson]

That sight has struck me every time I've been to that place.

Who'd have thought that was all tobacco smoke!

I think they better make them illegal, because frankly I'm getting tired of hearing how we are pissing al over people and costing them a fortune, when actually the opposite is true. I'd like to start getting something for my several dollars a pack tax I pay than abuse and laws that attempt to make me into a second class citizen.

Seriously, with all the taxes paid and hundreds of billions of dollars awarded to the "states" for "smokers damages" (which they promptly blew on everything BUT something for smokers)how can people think that WE are costing THEM money?

Smokers build sports stadiums. Smokers even pay for Head Start in CA, for some reason that escapes me.

I can't smoke on company property on my break, smoking is bad for you, but you can stand outside and see smoke rolling out of every open dooor of the building. I'm sure burning rubber smoke is good for you.
