But we are also telling you what type of cigarrettes you can and can't smoke..yep. Starting jan 1st. This state will no longer sell regular cigarettes. We will only sell those that are " Self- extinguishing Cigarettes". Like the seat belt law, it's for a persons own protection. 1000's die each year in house fires caused by an unattended cigaro. Many of those killed never smoked, and through no fault of their own. Some who are complaining about their"rights" being violated should stop and think about the trmendious cost to others that smoking causes. lying in the hospital bed, assisted by breathing machines gasping for breath, running up a cost to the tax payers of around $3,000 a day. Like i said, i did it in my ummm...younger more foolish days. Now my only bad habit is karaoke......

I do feel sorry for your smokers. Texas went to those last year and I have nearly set the house on fire a few times. Yes they do go out when they hit one of those bands, but if you happen to catch it and not have to re-light, then it burns underneath the band and drops it off lit from the back end. If it happens to fall outside the ashtray then whatever it lands on may catch as well. I used to keep a paper towel under my ashtray to keep the table clean, but can't now for fear of it catching.

Dale...my brothers wife says his nasty disgusting football habit all winter is starting to git the best of her, and is taking a tole on her health. Under your therory. He has a "right" to his disgusting habit {according to his wife} as well. I will tell him, that he has the "right" to watch football at any bar and resturant in the area because he's a tax payer. And they best supply him with television sets. Or at the very least a seprate room away from his wife, and others who hate football to enjoy his nasty disgusting {according to his wife} addition.

Don't remind me....I have to go to my computer room to watch football and to smoke. We did decide to not smoke in the main part of the house when we bought this place for the sake of our extended family. I smoke in only one area at the back of the house and they only breathe in the other part of it.
