Hmm..imagine that, I live in the pacific NW also. Idaho to be exact. But guess what...we still have our share of pollutants. If I recall correctly the Puget Sound ranked 5th in the heaviest polluted areas in the US....
and I do.
Anyways, I don't want to smell chemicals in the air either...how about we ban you from using house cleaning supplies? Those chemicals can cause diseases also. After all, water would clean just as good as any chemical you use...you just need a little bit more elbow grease.
Good for you! Now, get rid of all your cleaning supplies...those are toxins also.
And no I am not arguing that at all. I've already stated what I am argueing. But I will state it more clearly for ya.
If you are going to argue against and try to ban smoking then you need to argue against and try to ban all the other toxin producing chemicals with equal venehmence. Otherwise you are just being hypocritical and selfish. Because there are far worse things in the air than cigarette smoke. If you want I'll even make a list of things that are not needed in society but are just creature comforts...and is the cause of lots of the pollutants that you say you are against.
