[Winona Online Democracy]
Gene,
I completely disagree, big tobacco has beat up on us way more than we've
beat up on them. They've lied to the public for over 60 years and they are
still lying. I do not believe that a child asking someone to not smoke
around them is rude. I do believe someone smoking around me or my child is
not only rude, but a health hazard. I also disagree with your McDonalds
correlation. I have never heard of McD's adding poisonous chemicals to
their happy meals to addict children into eating 20 or more of them a day.
You can sit next to me and eat all the happy meals you want and it doesn't
affect me a bit. But light up a cigarette and the entire restaurant is
breathing in hundreds of poisons including carbon monoxide, acetone, and
arsenic. See the difference?
