<br />And why is he allowed to smoke in the White House? You know he is, otherwise there'd be pictures of him going outside to smoke.

well if he comes to mi may1st and smokes within 50 feet of a business he'll be severly fined if he's caught. smokers are criminals ..what next ?...people who wear perfume ! maybe we should slap some fines on people who don't bathe , lets slap fines on people who's kids cry in public places, the crunchy law ..if you chew crunchy food at a movie and it disturbs you neighbor ..big fine. no smoking in public buildings is fine with me , but they took the rights from private business and now want to criminalize anyone who dares to walk up to a store with a cigarette. thats wrong. except casinos . their millions in tax revenue bought them the right to be legal lawbreakers....
