In Oregon, today, a new law is in effect that you're not allowed to smoke in your car if someone under 18 is a passenger.
Anti smoking laws are interesting in their effect.
My anecdotal experience has been that people smoke because others around them do, and the gradual narrowing of opportunities to be around other people while they smoke (unless already a smoker) means I suspect that new smokers will, in the future, primarily be drawn from the set of people whose parents smoke.
If we keep these anti-smoking laws up we'll soon have driven the smokers into the sea.

I'm all for laws like that
my opinion on the matter is like old heroin addict's opinions on recruiting new blood
I remember the interesting experience of a friend ( who smokes) who acquired a girlfriend who had literally never been in the presence of a person that was smoking before.

The evening news stated it was an attempt to cut down on second-hand smoke.

i am writing up a list of all the things i hate about being fat
I am going another route this time.
I am throwing away all the clothes I have that are too small, donating those that aren't too ratty, and try to accept AMFE as incarnate before trying to change things I don't like about myself.
I feel that this will be more helpful than last spring,when I just ran out of self hate until I hurt my foot and ate three pizzas a week.
And I've never encountered a self-identified "sociopath" online who doesn't treat it as an out to be a total piece of shit.
I used to. Then my life crashed around me, I when to jail and meet the worst person I have ever known. Guy was in for raping 30 women (more charges were being dropped on him as I was leaving) and this guy didn't feel bad about it. NOT. ONE. BIT.
And I thought about what I had done, how I had manipulated people for my own good. How I had lied to my "friends" and my family just to keep up who I thought I needed to be and up to that point I had never felt bad about it either. I just did it, because I could. It didn't phase me one bit.
And I learned I was just as bad as this rapist. And I didn't want to be that way anymore.
And I tried to change, but I couldn't get rid of habits, then one day I thought about it and thought maybe I shouldn't change habits but change the reason. Instead of being someone else for my gain, I do things to help others. Instead of being someone to pick up numbers, I was someone else to help cheer them up. I still don't feel any connection to people, and I still don't care for people, but I want to do better and be better for myself.
I'm not letting my antisocial behavior be my excuse to be an asshole. I'm using it differently to fix what I have broken. Maybe it still selfish because the ultimate goal is to make me feel like a better person but doesn't everyone else do it for that "I did a good thing" feeling they get?

Well yes, they invariably are, but such laws also have the secondary effect of segregating the act of smoking away from non-smokers.

I gathered up all the empties, the cans and the bottles from last night
there was a bunch of teenagers in an out of sight corner, coughing and smoking some pilfered fags, feeling real cool
they probably had half a cider each last night or something
I can't really say what I felt when I was walking through them, four clanking and clinging bags of liquor bottles and beer cans and champagne bottles, puffing like a train on the cig in my mouth, flicking the ash off my cigarette by clicking my tongue
The worst mistake any person with any type of ailment, disorder, or illness of any kind, be it mental or physical, can do is let it define them as a person. Some people with Asperger's do it. Some people with Fibromyalgia do it. Some people with Bipolar Disorder do it.
I've said this a few times: I have a diagnose, but I refuse to ever let that diagnose be an excuse for anything. It might sometimes be an explanation, but never an excuse.
I have a very similar philosophy, albeit it was one instilled into me by my mother.

Folks in NYC were talking about banning ecigs in public because they were making nicotine useage acceptable and eroding the stigmatization the managed to create around smoking. That's very much a thing.

Even e-cigs? Sounds like those East Coast weirdos are one step away from enacting zero tolerance policies. Lollipop stems can no longer be white! Suspension for any students pantomiming cigarette use and "blowing smoke" on freezing cold days!

There is a manager at work who will smoke this ecigs while on the line making burgers. I don't mind it so much as it has a nice sweet smell, but I don't like the idea that he can smoke these things on the line but I can't drink water or chew gum on grill when I'm dehydrated as fuck from being so close to the heat.
