Smoking to Be Banned Unless It’s Pot
You had to know that eventually it would be illegal to smoke cigarettes, yet legal to smoke marijuana. You also had to know that San Francisco would get there first:
Smoking anything other than medically-prescribed marijuana at San Francisco street fairs, festivals and other outdoor events held on city property would be banned under new legislation before the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Eric Mar said he introduced the proposal because of the health impacts of secondhand smoke when people light up in public.
“It’s widely known that secondhand smoke is responsible for as many as 73,000 deaths among non-smokers each year in the United States, and there is no safe level of exposure,” he said.
Why 73,000? Why not 73,000,000? Or better still, 73,000,000,000?
Event sponsors would be required to post “No Smoking” signs and make “No Smoking” announcements, but Mar said he does not foresee the city being able to actively [enforce] this tobacco ban if it becomes law.
That is, the law is sheer posturing. Yet it still forces people to jump through absurd hoops with the signs and announcements, and moves us one step closer to progressive utopia, in which every conceivable activity will be either mandatory or forbidden.
On a tip from Shawn.
And “secondhand” marijuana smoke is good?
“Secondhand” smoke……is “secondhand” smoke.
They’ll probally require smoke detectors in your car as well!

Will a statistician please confirm that more people die in this country every year than are alive? 73K: If that were true, I’d go down to the local Occupy infestation and sacrifice myself to get a few.
We can learn a lot from the ants. Lol

FYI: San Francisco is the most pathetic, despicable excuse for a city in the world. Among its most “notable” achievements:
- it is the most blatant sanctuary city in America, which ignores EVERY federal mandate, regulation and law on ILLEGALS
-about 90% of SF forms the district of crazy dingbat pelosi, the WORST SPEAKER IN AMERICAN HISTORY, whose irresponsible, reckless, out-of-control spending created more than $5 TRILLION of the country’s debt.
-it is the epicenter of the lunatic-left extremism and of sexual depravity in the world (these tend to go together)
-it is the ultimate BIG GOVERNMENT NANNY STATE, controlling nearly every aspect of the life and death of its residents and businesses
-it is the ultimate in BIGNESS of BIG GOVERNMENT with about 30,000 city bureauweenies sucking-up tax dollars from a resident population of 805235, so each bureauweenie is living-in-luxury (with $100,000+ salaries, GOLD-PLATED healthcare and HUMONGOUS pensions) provided by ONLY 27 residents – the HIGHEST ratio of bureauweenies to residents ANYWHERE in the world.
America must rid itself of this dung heap, so let’s all pray for The Big One.

So let me get this straight, in San Francisco a fag can poke a fag in public, but a fag can’t smoke a fag in public. Is that correct?
Micah:
The only freedom they want is the mischeif of perversion and drug use. As long as the government gives them that, they are willing to put the rest of their lives under the Nanny’s will.
Holy buckets! Obama has little girl arms!
Somebody show me just ONE death certificate with “second hand smoke” as cause of death. Please. Just one.
Not only that chuck. How about (1) piece of “scientific, documented” evidence to proove their wild claims about so-called second-hand smoke, or a thousand other things the Left whines about. Making up numbers is obviously easy, especially when you know there’s no one to challenge what you claim.
Three years ago, during a televised news conference, NYC’s queen Bloomberg, who is anti-everything he dislikes, made the following statement to a room filled with media, “every year in NYC, 400,000 children die from 2nd-hand smoke…” Not one of those trained cretins challenged that claim! They’re obviously not smart enough to realize that if his statement were even close to being true, NYC’s streets would be littered with small bodies.
Smoking, as with all other issues pushed by the Left, is not about health at all. It’s about, CONTROL. The left wants to be able to control every single aspect of our daily lives. In that way, they can make any “tweeks and adjustments they deem necessary”.
It’s not about smoking. It’s about being free.
There’s Lies, Damn Lies and then Statistics.they are all Evil Bastards!! SF hope for a 9.1 if thats possible..Thank you God! In Advance of Course!
Once this law is passed some enterprising individual should start a mobile snack cart, stocked full of cheetos, doritos and chocolate chip cookies maybe equip it with a microwave so you can nuke burritos or mini pizzas. wheel that around a festival packed full of dopers.
