I shouldn’t be saying this, since I work for an organization that is principally opposed to its use, but the anti-tobacco froth that’s everywhere in California is absurd. There are more and more local and municipal community advocacy organizations clamoring their city councils to institute smoking bans in multi-unit family housing — they’re basically calling for a ban to smoking in your own goddamn home. Why? Because environmental tobacco smoke, they say, is like the plague. It’s a Class A carcinogen, known to cause lung cancer — and because smoke sort of inevitably drifts about when a heathen smoker exhales, that smoke has the potential of leaving a trace in your nostrils. And if you can smell it, then you could get cancer, potentially.

Bah! This is just emboldening me to shove my ETS deep into their throat and nostrils.
