The conversion of a plant via heat has been deemed hazardous. The conversion of food via heat, or which plants are considered food, could very well be considered hazardous. Any attempt to dodge such a real possiblity only serves to underline your desire to protect the agenda while shutting your eyes to reality.
That is your choice, and evidence of a willingness by many to ignore the real slippery slope that has been entered on to.
Only if we stray hopelessly from the topic. Facts:
a)cigarette smoke is a known carcinogen with links to numerous health problems (including death)
b)opening a window does not actually prevent cigarette smoke from entering the entire vehicle, as any smoker or passenger already well knows.
c)children have extremely limited powers in preventing parents from smoking. Sure, they can ask the parent to stop smoking, but if the parent insists then the child is crap out of luck.
The rest of this thread has been amusing navel gazing, but the above is what's important. As I said earlier, we don't need to bring the slippery slope into this since the ban can be defended on its own merits.
