DC Smoking Ban Vote Today

[vansmack]

This is one of those things we're going to look back at 20 years from now and laugh and say, "I can't believe we used to do that" - kind of like when we look back and say "Women used to smoke when they were pregnant all the time" - it's completely abusrd to think that that was alright.  This will be the same.

In the future only cool people will be allowed to smoke.

Are you sure that's not your crack habit?

Just thinking...what about these artists (usually Brit) who like to smoke on stage? Will thatguy jump up on stage and give them a serious hurting then throw them out on their arse?

  I know I'll catch flak for this, but the sooner this ban goes into effect the better.

I think the majority of the board agrees with you.  I can't wait for this ban to start.

If you didn't die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS/ Cot-Death) then yeah, you will probably  be fine:
 
 "There is an extensive literature showing that fetal nicotine exposure, due to maternal smoking, alters embryonic brain development and results in a variety of pathological effects in the neonate that fall under the heading of the fetal nicotine syndrome. These include a fourfold increased incidence of SIDS, ten's of thousands of cases of tobacco induced abortions, premature deliveries, low birth weight and an increased incidence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Although the mechanisms involved are not well understood, they are thought to be mediated in part by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the fetal brain. "

I'm sure my mom, who was 5'1" 95 lbs before getting pregnant with me, was just smoking in an attempt to keep my birthweight low.
