I have problems with government because I don't think they serve the people. I think they use issues like a sweeping smoking ban to make people think they care, when in fact......

EvilGentleman: Sounds good, but unfortunately, in the downtown core, the bars and nightclubs are packed so heavily, that soon there will be nowhere to go for those who wish to escape the smoke.

If there is that many butts everytime the snow melts, there should be an ashtray there. Not having one will not discourage smokers to butt out!... Elicar: Girl: While smoking increases health risks in both men and women, the reason why doctors **refuse to prescribe the pill** to women-smokers over 35 is, it increases the chances of blod clotting.... Both sides: To Coachrob59 ... just wanted to point out that you fit in one the of the many groups you laid out and that group would be 15) The "people who didn't proof read their post"......
