WTF

[VIPR PWR]

WTF is this crap.

Brooksville florida is attempting to pass a bill making all workers quit smoking even during their free time and at home within a year...or recieve disciplinary action up to and including termination...:dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:

Also Florida is looking at a bill to stop text messaging while driving, But to get pulled over the police must have another reason for the stop..Remember the seat belt law when it started ---they need another reason to stop you when that was first passed ...:dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:

Don't politicians have more important things to spend time and money on besides taking away freedom of choice....

Next they will pass a law saying you can't drink beer at home:dontknow: :dontknow: or you get fired.....:dontknow: :dontknow: Earl hide the kegerator quick......

The smoking at home band is BS and I would hope will not stand up in court.....the texting while driving I am all for...

 

[VIPR PWR]

I'm all for the texting ban , Except for the part ---They need another reason to pull you over.

I dont think that will be a problem...most I have seen texting while driving are all over the road...

I don't smoke and agree with you on this

Here, they have implemented policy that you can't smoke in or aroundany of the county facilities, no smoling in county vehicles. Good, bad, I don't know, but no one is really fighting it.

Texting while driving, pull em over, tow the vehicle and let them text to get a ride home

I am a former smoker (quit 25 yrs ago)....I was glad to see laws stop smokin in public places but I would not be in favor in any way of banning smokin in your home....govt has no business in our homes...

I think texting while driving is just as bad as drinking and driving...I cant count how many times I’ve been out riding the bike and watched people on there phones come right into my lane......which is why there’s a few cars out there missing either a driver or passenger door mirror ......especially a yellow beetle with a S.C.A.D. sticker on the back belonging to a young caucasian female that loves to text and smoke at the same time!

I smoke, that's BS. The texting, that's ok by me. But i don't smoke
in my home or my truck.

its an insurance deal ,,,stats say that smokers are taking more time off for sickness and have more doctor claims also ,,,were im at work if you smoke your insurance is way higher than non smokers that have same insurance,,,since Obama smokes in the white house i dought it will pass till he quits

The rules against employee smoking are nothing new. Started a few years back and has withstood court fights. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it started with private companies and has apparently moved to public entities.

Thats BS in by book. I have smoked for 20 years now and haven't been to he Dr. in 15. The time I did go to a Dr. was because of...... get this..... smoke inhalation . I had a wiring harness catch fire in a car and couldnt get the windows down or pulled over before sucking in some smoke.
I haven't had a sick day in at least 6 years.

my dad is 73 he smoked from the time he was 15 ,,,he now cant walk across the livingroom with out huffing and puffing ,,,he has to have a oxygen tube on his nose most of the time ,,,when it got so bad he was spitting up chucks i dragged his ass to the doctor and when they xrayed his lungs doc said he has almost no lung material left ,,,the xrays were so dark you could hardly see the little tube that stick out in lungs to absorb air ,,,doc showed him a health lung compared to his ,,,all you see in his are these tiny tiny nubs and they were burnt black ,,,

dont get me wrong i smoked cigs till i was 30 ,,,but all his brothers are heavy smokers and all of them are having serious breathing problems now ,,,but this is a free country to do what you want ,,,well until obama changes that ,,,:dontknow:

I don't smoke ,and only occasionally have I smoked the weed,but this is just going too far.Where will it end ? They are banning trans-fats all over the country now.What's next making snacky-cakes illegal ? Little Debbie and Betty Crocker on the 10 Most Wanted list ?? McDonalds to be shut down ?
What was that movie ........"Demolition Man" with Sylvester Stallone where he was cryogenically frozen and then thawed out to fight a criminal.Anybody remember that ? All the stuff that was bad for you (according to the government at that time) was criminalized. I just love the part by comedian Dennis Leary where explained his thoughts on the matter.Google it.

I don't think people should drink or do any drugs at work,smoking would depend on the place,but any company telling you what you can or can't do at home is BS !!!!!!!!

texting while driving SHOULD be illegal and a primary offense

they already have those here in cali, they can and do pull you over for texting and calls without a hands free device. you cant smoke pretty much in ANY of the El cajon city limits, nor on the beaches or parks , only in designated area's
