The LA Times reports that Smokers living in apartments, condos, and townhomes in Carlsbad will not be allowed to smoke inside their homes.
The beach city Tuesday became the first in San Diego County to expressly ban smoking and vaping of cannabis and nicotine products inside all local multifamily residential buildings.
While the city’s ordinance prompted some complaints about the government prying into residents’ private lives, others applauded city leaders for prioritizing the health of nonsmokers living in units that are inundated by their neighbors’ secondhand smoke.
Advocates of the ban noted that cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, resulting in more than 480,000 deaths annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Secondhand smoke exposure can cause a variety of ailments, including heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer, federal health officials say.
The London Times reports:
Melanie Burkholder, a Carlsbad council member, told the San Diego Union-Tribune: “I wrestle with the idea of how can I tell somebody what they can or can’t do in the confines of their own place where they live. But … we have to watch out for the best interests of the majority of the public.”
At least 84 of California’s 483 municipalities — including Beverly Hills, Cupertino and Pasadena — have enacted similar bans in multi-family private residences, according to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation.
What happened to Tim Walz’s “mind your own business” mantra?
I’m not a smoker. never have been. not even pot. and I don’t think the Govt
should be banning cigs or anything! Their woke left wing big govt policies
are worst and more harmful to citizens! All Govts are too big and N*zis!
Government intrusion just as it was when they banned smoking in restaurants and bars. The smarter way to do it is through the free market. If the government should have stayed out of it, and given public sentiment turning against smoking, eventually private owners would open smoke free establishments and I’ll bet they would do better financially than those allowing smoking.
Free markets are Monopoly Markets. Corporations own it all! So, you all have this terrible delusion of Freedom that never was, really! And it is astounding to witness this tragic anomoly from a Biblical Perspective; because the Good Book says, “Everyone believed Lies” ( Past Tense) . – Revelation. Why are you all stuck on lies? Are you afraid of Truth? Do you fear losing your MC JOB if you speak out against the BEAST and its Corruption? I told the Beast to HOLD MY WILLY! What
s wrong with the Rest of you?Kamala will promise the moon, then drop all her promises like a DIRTY RAG , as soon as you all vote for her. Trump will do the same. Notice His Wall. Anyone could have built that Wall in a Few Months, by assigning the Army Corps of Engineers, and declaring a National Security Problem. Did Trump Fail Business 101? I just built Trumps Wall in "3 months or less" at very little cost to taxpayers! I mean what fool would "free market" the WALL ( Pay 1000x cost on corruption) when you have an Already Paid for Army that needs Training in Building Walls! You Got an Intelligence Vacuume, America! Government is not Evil. The people who Fail to Control their Government are Evil. I am sure your founders ( I divorced you, America) would agree.
Ever Trade a Stock?
You "better know" to go with the BIG MONEY INFLOWS ( BANKERS and HEDGE FUNDS) or youll get Monkey Hammered! All Charts are Made to Read these BIG CORPORATE MONEY Inputs: All Valuations and Ratings are Based (in part) on these Inflows. You better know to go with the Corruption; because Corruption Rules the market. I did well as an Independent Trader ( a little guy) and that was my Key to Success. I never lost a penny. Greed and Corruption RULE everything. Freedom is a Delusion. Free markets are owned and predictable! I bank on Realism and I always win.
So… America, How long is it going to take?
Government politicians love other peoples money. Just look what they spend it on?
If a government can control your actions in your own home, you have no personal liberty. Left-wing authoritarians must be fought every time they appear. America has become the home of the timid and land of the marginally free.
HOW ARE THEY GONNA ENFORCE THIS? PUT A SMOKE DETECTOR IN
HOME SO THEY CAN MONITOR IT? THIS IS N*ZI GERMANY BS!
The great Rush Limbaugh predicted this decades ago. Some people might have thought it was a joke. Others of us knew better.
Rush predicted the left would destroy sports and even NFL and he was right.
All sports has been ruined by left. NFL NBA are nothing but woke radical
left rigged BS now! College football is only sport I still watch as I think the
players are still playing for pride school and not a left wing agenda!
Fear of smoking has some really deep roooted psychological problems and associated pathophysiolgy for the phobic. Heath Scares about smoking are largely manufactured. Smoking is not good for you , and “can” cause Emphysema /Copd; but it is not the be all end all of bad health. This should be common sense. Only Hypoctites run wild with the anti-smoking crap and that includes the so called Doctors!
However, a certain group of anti-smoking schizophrenics ( this is their underlying pathology) have decided to make war on tobacco. Why? I believe that it is psychologically connected to their hatred of their Daddy and God. You see, both smoked. God enjoys his Incense, WE enjoy tobacco. So … the Schizophrenics ( Poor Souls) are reacting to their intense hatred of both GOD and their Daddy when they persecute smoking/smokers and assign all the false values of a form of Rabid Racism!
And, Cancer is a “Genetic Disorder.” You cannot stop it. I have , as a Healthcare professional, read Thousands of Charts/Histories and find Inconsistencies in every Smoking Label. Way too many people who never smoked with Lung Cancer! Fools were playing with the Statistics, Naturally! So … Cigarettes were Demonized! However, I will attest to smoking keeping peoples weight down and doctors used to prescibe smoking to lose weight. Coffee will do the same: Caffine and Nicotine are almost Identical Drugs. So …. Load up on the Coffee it Increases your Metabolism.
So … These Smoking “Haters” are Liars! I know too many people who lived to be 94 who started smoking at 12. And, the second hand smoke scares are Hysterically Laughable! So … I do not believe liars. However, if you look, the Animals have made a pretty penny taxing cigaretts without representation! Why is this still going on? What happened to Adults making their own Adult Choices! Perhaps, that was the whole GAME. Addict everyone to Smoking ( Government Sanctioned Product) then Raise the Prices on Mostly Bogus Health Scares!
You hit the nail on the head. What the government did with smoking was just another one of their inventive ways to steal a large amount of people’s money (taxes). Same with alcohol, lotteries, etc.
Thanks. Yes, they are the ones colllecting loads of tax money on the product. How dare they act innocent! And, the Health Scares are largely B.S, as these schizophrenic anti-smoking animals ( Beasts with no Brains) got so insane with their Health Scare propaganda that the health scares are a complete Joke compiled by people with very bad Schizophrenia! I use to work in a Coronary Unit, and I knew all the Top Heart Surgeons. I got them to admit that smoking does not cause Coronary Artery Disease! They could not lie to me! Hypolipidema ( a genetic factor) and other genetic fat metabolizing factors is largely responsible here not even the hamburger!
The People in Charge HATE mankind. So … Mankind needs to Start Hating Them! The Indians and other Ancient Cultures were smoking all the way back to the Stone age! Only now has it become a Crime!
Most DNC cities give out FREE DRUGS! paid by taxpayers! They
say that is to get drug addicts off drugs? IT’S ABSURD!
