outdoor smoking now banned in Orlando

[celsis]

Doesn't Orange County owned and leased land belong, technically, to the people of Orange County? ALL the people, not just some of them?

Or is the county a personal fiefdom? One for the lawyers, methinks, and an injunction to start with!

I'm in

I'm going to smoke the biggest fucker I can find while walking around in august, they will have to shoot me.

And I'll have your back, Lee. Let 'em try; all at once or one at a time - we'll take the fuckers down!

Say What?

You forgot to add Rokkit to that list monkey. Or shall we group him with the gun toting hicks lol

Hey! I'm one of the Good Guys, chaps! Y'know: "Make Love Not War" and "Peace, Love, Woodstock" and suchlike.

HERB INCLUDED?

Wonder if the new law covers MEDICAL MARY JANE?

It's like this in Tokyo, no smoking except in designated areas on the street and not without a personal ashtray.

It seems daft that it's cigar smokers being targeted rather than cigarette smokers. What's worse - an inconsiderate bugger dropping 4 biodegradable cigar stubs a year on the floor or 10 non-biodegradeable cigarette butts a day littering the floor? And would you rather have to walk past someone smoking a cigarette or a cigar? All of my non-smoking friends would probably agree on the cigar.

It's not even velvet fascism, it's straight-up infringement of personal freedom. I'm with the G-Man - 1% all the way, FTW if this is what it's offering.

Waiting for? In 1978 I decied Outlaws were the only ones that got peoples attention. and 1% is the way to go. To many rules and not enough fun in this f in world. I say we Live to smoke and smoke to live!

Wow. A 1%er? Really? If you're a 1%er, what do you ride?

I have a feeling this forum is about to be commandeered... Maybe I misjudged you G-Man...

[celsis]

Oh God, 1%ers! OK, who has the patch and wears it with pride?

What about this lot..... http://www.cigarrights.org/

Are they not doing anything in defense of the cigar smokers of Orlando ????

I suspect not so this is the 'we know better than you and are going to protect your health at the expense of your freedom' bullshit.

I think even that is a rationalization these days. Tobacco has simply become a boogeyman, much like the evil gun sitting on a table suddenly uprighting itself and shooting somebody.
