I think [the study reported in “What a Drag”] is appropriate and worthy information. I just wish the smoking Nazis here in San Francisco with whom I have run-ins from time to time would add some CIVILITY when they address or approach me smoking on the street.
It's so amazing to me how the smoking Nazis have taken over. I wonder why the attorney general isn't marching up to the tobacco manufacturers with an arrest warrant for selling this LEGAL harmful product to people around the world, when if you are caught with the tiniest amount of crystal meth, you'll have the DEA via the P.D. arrest you in a heartbeat for a felony possession charge. Not that I do any drugs, but our world has been turned upside down with this issue and I'm frankly fed up with it.
Having been an auto mechanic for 30 plus years and stuck that gas probe up exhaust pipes, reading all the toxins and poisonous gases being emitted from tail pipes, I can tell you smoking Nazis that there are more pollutants and harmful gases at any street level location than in cigarettes, and further, it's what you can't see, smell or taste that's killing you.
