Let me start, by saying, I understand the right of non-smokers to have a place where they are not assulted by the smoke of others. However it is apparent that we as a nation have gone from one ditch to another. I was given a God-given right to free will choice. It is written; those who live, live unto God and those who die, die unto God.
I know some people meant well, by taking away my right to smoke in public, for the advantage of the non-smokers. I have heard the warnings put out by the Surgeon General, about smoking being bad for your health and about smoking causing the health care expences to go up. Still, I was given free will choices, I am willing to take, what God said, about his creation to heart and I know to the pure, everything is pure. It is also written; when God showed up in the temple, the temple filled with smoke. Yes I must admit, if the High Priest's, heart was not true, he would die and then had to be pulled out, but he still went in. I today am God's living temple.
The new laws are unequal in that now the law has taken away my right to enjoy a smoke anywhere, but in the privacy of my own home, that is if I don't have a small child living with me. I do appreciate you trying to protect the very young children of America, the ones that make it past the free choice of Mother's, whether to abort them or not.
Now I have heard many asking when are they going to do something about the smokers rights. I am here to say,
'the they
', that will get anything done about our rights as smokers is us smokers. I am asking now for smokers to stand and be counted. I don't want back on the other side of the ditch again, how about in the middle again. We need to ask for at least a place we can have where we also may partake of our freedom. Out of the elements of weather and prejudices. If the government gives women the right to abort a child, give us smokers the right to smoke, even at our own risk.
