I don't smoke anymore but that is wrong. It's basically banned everywhere now when they can tell you can't smoke at home. Are there other legal

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Nov 22 '13, 13:08

products you can buy at the corner store that you can't use in the privacy of your own home?

That seems so very wrong to me and I can't believe it's legal.

Responses:

I'm very grateful that my landlord/neighbour who lives downstairs had to give up smoking. - Roger More Nov 22, 14:48 2
- shouldn't that be soon-to-be-former landlord/neighbour? - zork Nov 22, 14:50 1
  - Nothing is happening at the moment. Limbo. -- nm - Roger More Nov 22, 14:53
See below. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:09 33
- Nothing said below changes anything for me. It's wrong to ban it like that. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:10 32

    - I get all that but when you ban smoking in public and now private, where is someone supposed to go? It just sees wrong to me. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:21 14
      - Why should they be obligated to give you opportunity to do it? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:11
      - If I'm standing in my back yard, why can't I shoot my gun in the air? -- nm - con_carne Nov 22, 13:23 2
        
        Not the same thing. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:24 1
        
        with that smoking ban, it kinda is. -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:15
      - Cars. Smoking areas. Free standing houses. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:22 7
        
        There are no smoking areas anymore. So only people with free standing houses gets to enjoy their privacy now? So wrong. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:24 6
        
        how is smoking equivalent to privacy? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:13
        
        Lets look at it anoher way, noise. Do people have the right to listen to music at any volume at any hour? No. And that is something that does not even - Spawn Nov 22, 13:45 3
        
        But they can listen to music just at a resonable volume. I can listen to it rather loud until a certain hour. - Krusty Nov 22, 13:48 2
        
        Time for a plastic lined room so none of it leaves, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:55 1
        
        Hey! thats what I always do. -- nm - Dexter Nov 22, 14:06
        
        A duplex is not truly private. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:25
      - *seems* -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:21 1
        
        it is wrong. and imo completely illegal -- nm - Jovian Nov 22, 13:22
  - Look for 5th amendment takings and nuisance law. If what you do on your property interfers with my rights, the State can control it -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 13:16

    - And alcohol was never sprayed through the air. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:14 1
      - I`ve sprayed some stuff due to alcohol however... -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:24
  - higher fire risk for you doesn't mean anything? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 13:12 8
    - So ban hot plates and space heaters and toaster ovens. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:13 7
      - So, no. There are many things that people use or do that increase that risk but we don't want to ban those items. It's a legal product that you're - Krusty Nov 22, 13:14 6
        
        Legal? It's days are numbered. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:15 5
        
        Yeah, good luck getting rid of a billion dollar product people are addicted to. - Krusty Nov 22, 13:17 4
        
        if it were a new product introduced today it would never be allowed in stores. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:49 1
        
        For sure. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:54
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:27
        
        Wait for it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:17
  - Hmm. To each their own but obviously many feel as below. California may be the first but there will probably be many more. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:11 2
    - Until its officially banned as unconsitutional. -- nm - Jovian Nov 22, 13:21
    - And they'll all be wrong for doing it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:12
