-------------------------------------------------- REMINDER: Only 2 Posts Per Day Per Person -------------------------------------------------- We don't have to ban smoking - we just have to isolate it.
This can be done with a smoking condom - a plastic tent that entirely surrounds the head, shoulders, and arms of the smoker. All the smoke is confined inside. If the plastic is clear it will be interesting to watch the clouds of smoke fill it until you can't see the smoker inside. Or the smoker may prefer colored plastic, so that no one can identify him as a habitual smoker. But either way the smoker would be able to smoke in public, with his/her buddies. If he wanted to drink too he'd have to take it inside before he lit up. True, the alleys and dark corners of St Paul would be littered with used smoking condoms. So I propose a returnable deposit. They could be collected for cash, by the boy scounts, camp fire girls, etc. Or perhaps the Chamber of Commerce, should it fall on hard times. Or Carl Pohlad, if he really needs the cash to build a stadium. -- Wanna smoke? Did you bring, *ahem*, "protection"? --David Shove Roseville _____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
