My point is that the anti-smoking lobbyists were able to effect change and you have the power to effect the same change. Start small, contact your state rep and tell him you feel you are being discriminated against.

Totallly off the subject or maybe not, is it discrimination to make people wear shoes, shirts in a restaurant???

Did that a while back and started getting junk mail from every "group of victims" under the sun. I take full responsibility for that because I didn't weed out the links as well as I should have and some mail went directly to my "junk mail folder" and others to my inbox. I've since corrected that flow and will stick strictly to "snail mail" for further corrsepondence!

Be it known...I am NOT just all talk, no action! I've taken action from my little slice of the world and yet the action doesn't suffice. I am one...they are many more than me if no one but me ( I feel so alone) takes a stand on fairness! Laws have been set before I took a stand...and continue to expand since I took a stand. Obviously I have no footing because I am a lowly smoker! I stand on the side that is shunned and seems to me my voice will never be heard!

I know how a bill becomes a law...but how does a law get undone?????? How can I help tweak it? Energy fails me to fight city hall!
