Greetings All,
Just wanted to share my current outrage ...
I'm a heavy smoker (~40/day). I also have Bipolar Disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder). I was recently committed to hospital (rightly so). For the entire 4 days of my initial assessment, I was not allowed to smoke, at all. So there I was trying to maintain sanity while gasping for a cigarette the whole time. Ridiculous!
For the record, it was Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, though I believe all other Toronto hospitals are the same.
In no way can I defend the act of smoking, but I am, still, a human being whose needs are now routinely and completely IGNORED.
Shame on them!
Sincerely,
Martin L |

Its a perfectly inocuous activity that I choose to indulge in that hurts nobody else whatsoever and the supposed harm I am doing to myself is GREATLY overstated by the antis and their media lackeys.
The attitude you exhibit with that statement is the reason we're getting sold down the river one ban at a time. Not only do we need to defend our position but we have to go on the offense and turn this thing around. |

| I wonder what they do about schizophrenia. Don't people smoke to help keep that in check to a degree? Maybe they just send those guys out into the streets. *sigh* |
