MSDHS set to elaborate on house smoking ban law

Oxygen is the killer but it takes a long time to kill you.

The average person who breathes it everyday will only last between 70 and 100 years depending on diet.

I would love to see this "science".
... probably the same kind of science that says that CO2 causes climate change.
... or the kind of science that says saturated fat causes heart disease.
 
It's so boring with people like you who repeat everything the media pushes
without ever questioning the "science" or most of all who finances all these
studies to get the result that fits into the ideology.
 
And you can be pretty sure that I am not uneducated [even though I wish I was], I am not slow
and I don't endanger anybody. The only conscious choice I made was to use my own mind
instead of blindly following what others tell me ... meaning I am completely not normal in your 
world of stupidity !

Excellent, well conceived reply except the science has existed for decades. Seems irrefutable. Google.

I think you misunderstood my last statement. I said smokers are "looked upon" as uneducated, slow and unthinking. Doesn't mean it's true. I smoked for a number of years and my mother died from it. It is people's perception of those making poor choices that may lead many to form a wrong impression. I suppose others feel compassion or feel sorry for smokers.

Good.  They should just ban smoking 100 percent, and drinking alcohol, and eating meat too, as well as driving cars and listening to music, reading, using the internet, getting your hair coloured and wearing any other colour than black.  Also speaking might be banned.  Honestly, what the heck is going on with the world these days?!?!

If you think neighbor s can not or will not try you are either not very old or naive.  Any chance a bitchy neighbor has no matter which country they will use it.  Dear police officer here is 5000 baht.  The breeze is bringing the cigarette smoke into my yard and my daughter has a cough.

Yeah I can see it now, some Thai who has an issue with a foreigner, just calls the police to say he/she has been smoking. Looks like payday has yet again come early for the BIB.

My father was a pack to pack half smoker. He had his reasons 1 being called Korea.  He smoked anywhere he wanted to no one in my family got sick nor has there been any cancer.  He died of a heart issue.

 

This country just authorized med Mary Jane. 

 

This reminds me of the old soldiers lament.

 

When I joined you could drink smoke and swear BUT you could not do drugs or question you boss.

 

Now I can't. Drink, smoke or swear but I can tell my boss to get lost and due drugs.

 

Verdict. Time to retire

where is the proposed time ago legislation of vaping?? why they push people to smoke cigarettes if there is 95% more healthy alternative?? maybe there is some people in government who understand English and can educate themselves on this matter

brilliant, smokers Mrs starts yacking about AGAINST THE LAW, smoker starts nicotine withdrawal, which is similar to wanting to kill someone, smoker stomps Mrs to a pulp. 

 

govt at work at it's best.

As long as she doesn’t start laughing !

Elaboration: We can’t and won’t enforce any of this and it’s a complete waste of time to talk about it, but we get a big face when we pretend that we are doing something good.

Soon they will also punish farting.

Indeed, in the name of reducing emissions. They can call it the carbon fartprint initiative.
