It is about health.
It is clear that smoking outside impacts the health of those around you. The only point that any of you have to make is that you don&#039;t care about anyone, not even yourselves.

It is easy to not worry about your quote unquote rights to a cigarette. Hopefully soon, beyond not smoking on campus, we&#039;ll be free of you entirely!</description>

		<description>I find it very difficult to believe that Jun is Lauri.  I have talked with Lauri before and I do not see her as the type to sit on a computer and argue with students over this topic.  Just throwing in my two cents.  And I am not sticking up for Jun by the way I am very against the smoking ban on campus.</description>

		<description>I never met either of my great grandfathers. Its too bad Tobacco Control and Public Health organizations weren&#039;t around sooner, to prevent them and millions of others from making the mistakes that undoubtedly led to their demise. 
We could be out in the yard playing tackle football or road hockey right now, if only they knew the secrets Public Health knows. 
 
Oh wait now!  Public Health were around weren&#039;t they? 
 
http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v31/n1/full/ng0502-17.html 
 
&quot;Social essentialism has always been with us, as The Unfit makes abundantly clear. Clusters of individuals sharing an attribute such as color, background or belief are lumped into the same mental category, onto which are projected the qualities most feared or despised by rival groups. Any awareness of the enormous range of appearance, thought and temperament that exists in any human group is thus replaced by a crude, usually ugly, caricature. 
 
Not surprisingly, social essentialism has furnished excusatory captions to many of humanity&#039;s most barbaric actions against the weak and friendless—from the &#039;bestial&#039; aborigines of Victorian propaganda, to the &#039;subversive&#039; Jew of Nazi ideology. This kind of dehumanization typically accompanies a withdrawal of compassion. It also allows unspeakable actions to be taken against masses of people without the perpetrators&#039; sense of themselves as moral beings and model citizens ever being seriously troubled.&quot;

		<description>Sorry for the multiple posts, this one is precious and I had to comment.

Corporate evils? Takes one to know one. 

I always say if you want to get to the truth, you have to follow the money.
Jun said;
&quot;The saddest thing of all is that many of you who continue to smoke will become another victim of one of the most evil corporations in our history, and you’ll defend their right to kill you slowly, for a fee.&quot;


As we should, in the name of capitalism and democracy...not to mention personal autonomy. That thing they were talking about when describing &quot;a woman&#039;s right to choose&quot; Jun is obviously anti-abortion. AKA The back alley coat hanger crowd.

The tobacco Industry is no different than any other corporate for profit industry, providing a product in demand, and none of them majored in axe murder 101, such as apparently is the norm, among the cult membership of Public health &quot;Stakeholders&quot;. Such as Jun who seeks death to her enemies. Listed at the world Health Organization and other places, under the heading public health &quot;stakeholder partners&quot; who will profit by support of the &quot;Tobacco Control&quot; social marketing campaign.


The evil empire Luke; The much feared &quot;dark side&quot;.

This would be the same corporation who sells you Kraft Dinner and sponsors Kraft Hockey-ville for little kids?

Peanut butter merchants are going to take over the world? 

&quot;They want to kill us all I tell ya&quot;. Jun et al...</description>

		<description>Jan provides a perfect example of what is wrong with sticking the state&#039;s moralist nose in places it has no right to be. Democracy in government is &quot;of the people&quot; and laws they draft; &quot;serve the people&quot; [all of the people without exclusion] never the other way around, or you are talking about something completely different. Autonomy laws were written after the war to protect us against people who think exactly as she does, that some people are more worthy than others, as long as she is part of the largest crowd. Best babies contests on campus anyone? 

If a person chooses to smoke it does not make them any different than anyone else no more or no less worthy of compassion and respect. The situation is no different than the choice to ride a bicycle or drive a car although the smoke produced by a car is a toxic risk to others whereas cigarette smoke never was more than annoying to others. Anyone who believes otherwise is simply ignorant of the facts at hand and should examine the evidence before believing everything you hear in TV commercials.

You can divide people in many ways to promote your personal politics and you should be defended in your rights to personal opinion. When you start dividing people by autonomous choices and divining moralist rules over the dominion of other peoples bodies, your opinions are nothing more than trash talk and hate mongering, to satisfy your own personal and sadistic addictions. 

Jun; The others here who see you for what you are, should be commended as parties to the norm in their revulsion. Your problems are much more offensive than tobacco smoke ever was. You are the one who should be banned from campus in place of the people who smoke. At least until you agree to seek treatment, so that no one else is harmed by the belief, that you could ever represent the norm.

I see Jun as the stuck in the 20s Rockefeller disciple of eugenics. The long black dress buttoned up collar and marching boots with a red armband. A bible in one hand and a tambourine in the other. Spreading guilt as her weapon of choice, with verbal emotives and a wagging finger, moral turpitude and juvenile delinquent, in place of the words smoker or drinker?

Yes Jun we all know who you are, the only problem here; is your own life style choices, preaching the virtues of self sanctimony while basking in your own hypocritical denials.

Good luck with that, just stay away from the children. What you have is contageous and very dangerous if it spreads. Seek treatment.

How fitting the captcha verification words below are &quot;cuckoos varsity&quot; There is little doubt who that refers to.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately for you, there are those who will also not value the life of the hysterical shrew.  That would be you.  Surely, if you are educated, you already know that when zealots like you begin experiments in eugenics and sort out which lives are valuable and which are not, the zealot goes out in flames.  Eugenics began in earnest in the early part of the 20th century.  It ended, at least in the open, with the destruction of the movement in NAZI Germany.  As we see from your post, it has come alive again disguised as a &quot;health&quot; movement.  It will end again.  Thanks though for exposing what you really are.</description>

		<description>When you&#039;re young you find yourself trying to open every new door, you always want to know what&#039;s behind the next drawn curtain.

As you get older it happens that one day you suddenly find you&#039;ve reversed direction, that you&#039;re now closing doors and passing by opportunities to try something new and unknown. Because eventually, you realize that there&#039;s more shit out there than there are shovels.</description>
