And then, what about smoking in convertibles?
Will traffic accident inspectors be obliged to record that the cause may be "TWS"-- Tobacco Withdrawal Syndrome"?
Can road-rage perpetrators use that ban-created syndrome as a defense?
Consequences like these are results of unjust and scientifically groundless laws---laws intended to scapegoat and punish the victims of horrifically-contaminated smoking products for the crimes of the perpetrators, namely, cigarette manufacturers, tobacco pesticide manufacturers, pharmaceuticals that make both tobacco pesticides and non-tobacco cigarette additives, fertilizer producers, chlorine interests, and all of their insurers, investors, and sold-out henchpersons in public government.
Blaming the victims is a distraction from those industrial crimes, but the war on smoking is also largely about removing nicotine from the public domain so that it becomes a Controlled Substance for exclusive use by pharmaceutical and related industries.
It is not far-fetched, in this prohibitionistic, Talibanesque climate---and considering the limitless power of those pharms, chemical firms, insurers, and other entities---to expect that one day, to respond to the nicotine withdrawal problems noted above, anyone who has smoked, lived with a smoker, or who got hit with whiffs of "second-hand smoke", will simply be forbidden from driving until six months after exposure. Who can oppose laws that are "for our protection" or "for the kids"? Absurdity feeds on absurdity.(Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
