Seems almost hysterical that here we are in the 21rst century banning smoking for health related problems when many other industries cause many more health related problems. We can ban someones right to smoke their own lungs out because it could effect someone else, but it's ok for us to go ahead and pollute the rest of the world with the same irrationality.
Pollutants from combustion engines and dirty industry cause more health related problems then second hand smoke, and yet it is ok for us to throw another Ethiopian in our tank...as long as we make it to work on time... did I lose you with that? The pollutants from the US is being blamed for the wide spread famine in Africa due from the pollutants changing the yearly monsoons...we may have caused millions of Africans to die of hunger, just so we could go grab another Big Mac from the drive threw.
We know we send tons of pollutants into the air, we speculate whether there is such a thing as global warming, we know there is global dimming... and yet our blinders of convenience and pig-headedness leave us condemning someone else for sucking on a tobacco leaf...try sucking on that tailpipe.
...would Jesus drive a combustion engine vehicle? ...sure! He'd dress in his best suit, hop into his V8 4W SUV, and run off to praise his father for his good fortune...
