As a New Yorker these tobacco laws get crazier and crazier. Check this out:

Saw this and I literally almost s**t a brick. I can't believe the nonsense that is passing nowadays. We want to spend tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars teaching people how to shoot up properly, and then many more thousands campaigning against smoking?!?!

Smoking can lead to long term health issues. Fine. We get that. Lots of things we choose to do aren't the healthiest for us (our diets, our drinking, our physical hobbies, our stress levels). Whatever.

But please, PLEASE, let me know if you know anyone that's overdosed from cigars. Anyone? Bueller?

Sorry for the rant. So angry. So very angry about the continued nonsense from the anti-tobacco lobby. I could even somewhat understand if it was evenly enforced, but where are the health department signs warning you not to eat at McDonald's? Why doesn't Taco Bell come with a Surgeon General's warning? Why don't gas stations have to post pictures of the thousands of people that die from air pollution? Why don't bars have to post pictures of f'd up livers? Where are the commercials and signs and lobbies trying to shorten the work day because of the affect of stress on the heart?

*SIGH*
 
Vancouver, British Columbia has had a "Safe Injection Clinic" for a while. I'm glad my federal taxes are going to keep the druggies safe, rather than improving the school funding or municipal infrastructure.

CBC News story

I also found this in the parking lot for a company I worked for in downtown Winnipeg a few years back....

I wonder how many people will walk into a cigar shop, see the poster and say to themselves...."hmmmm.... I know i need to stock up on cigars for the poker game Friday night, but that poster is scary and I better not buy cigars anymore. I'll just tell the guys we are going to eat celery stalks and tofu instead."

Don't smoke, but by all means feel free to shoot up - as long as you use proper technique...

WTF indeed.
 
They forgot to add the surgeon generals warning that say -"Warning shooting heroine is not a safe alternative to smoking" to the poster. :whistling: What total BS!
 
< 1 addict saying to another addict > "Thank the lord that heroin poster was displayed, it saved me from another hospital stay. I would have been frickin' pissed if I missed another new release of cigars at my favorite tobacconist!"

The smoking nazis are too much!
