Dan writes: By the way, I don't drink coffee, and hate the smell of it (I suspect that there are harmful chemicals present in the vapor rising from hot coffee). Maybe we should ban that next, and then, YOU and anyone who likes to drink coffee in public places can adapt to that, or "be left out in the cold," with me and the rest of the smokers. I bet I could hire the same hacks that do ETS "studies" to do a coffee vapor study, and come up with alarming results."
Dan McGrath Longfellow I think that we really must stop making apples to apples comparisons between coffee and smoking. And I do not really believe you Dan hate the smell of coffee. Lets see, coffees number #2 on the worlds highest traded exported good, and cigarettes are Number #1 on the cause of many cancers. Maybe we should spend our energies on legalizing the use of medical marijuana, or just supporting all of our local wonderful coffee shops. And the funny thing you do not see coffeehouse owners complaining about the smoking ban....lets treasure the fruit, and ban the dirty nicotine.
