Ah yes, second hand smoke? 1 city bus pumps out the equivalent of 1 million cigarettes worth of carcinogens per second.
Yay for Priorities.

True, but city buses don't ditch cigarette butts all over the beach, sidewalks, parks. I think half of this is about the litter issue.

all of our buses here in Atlanta run on natural gas....pretty cool shit

Yeah natural gas is nice compared to diesel. The EPA concluded that diesel exhaust is not a health hazzard lol. Pretty funny stuff. It contains the same items as smoke, plus more! hehe.

I guess the litter issue is something to think about. I've never understood people with clean ashtrays in their car, tossing butts out the window. Would they toss a butt on their carpet and smash it out? I kinda doubt it..

But really, when theres a anti-something going around, the governments jump right on it because it grabs attention. And while second hand smoke may be bad, not saying it isn't, the exhaust from diesel and gasoline engines is FAR worse.. but I think by now people know that big business gets priority in governments. So it shouldnt be surprising. When was the last emissions standard revision? Nobody knows because it's not an attention grabbing, vote getting headline story.

Check out this story: http://www.forces.org/writers/kjono/files/epa-ets.htm

Then use laws against littering. You wouldn't ban drinking softdrinks in public because people throw cans away, right?

Im not a smoker, so I think the law is good.

Someone needs to come up with biodegradable cigarette filters.

So you support ridiculous laws as long as they don't affect you personally?

One more reason not to go to California... :pimp

2nd hand smoke affects me personally so I support any ban on smoking.

Outdoors, the effects on health are negligible, much smaller than those of cars passing you by, the sun on your skin, etc. Besides, do you really think it's a good idea for the government to control every aspect of what people can and can't do?

YES , just sit down and shut the fuck up:Oh crap

As long as I don't have to breathe in that nasty smoke... it's a good law

Thank you, I can't stand smoking.

Does this mean you're in sd? :Graucho

cali is the place to be

We do have laws against litter. Which is why you don't see cans and bags all over the place.

Americans and their guns. Europeans and their cigarettes.

This law is going to have absolutely no affect on you. Why do you care? Relax.

San Diego sucks, please don't move here. Stay where you are. Its really bad here...LOL
