I guess that means you don&#039;t support Abortion and Gay Marriage. Both of those issues impact the bulk of people...

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the personal choices of an individual that do not affect others in any direct way&quot;?

This is simply laughable. The overwhelming majority of non-smokers on campus gave smokers many chances to behave themselves. We posted polite signs asking you to stand away from doorways. You didn&#039;t do it; you insisted on standing in front of the doorways, creating a toxic cloud of smoke that non-smokers were forced to walk through to get into buildings (and wafting smoke through open windows and doors...).

We placed receptacles for cigarette butts all over campus. You insisted on throwing your butts on the ground, creating unsightly litter that washes into local waterways. 

Freedom. That&#039;s right, this is about freedom. I finally have the freedom to walk around my workplace without inhaling toxic fumes and seeing litter everywhere. And I won&#039;t even get into the increased absenteesism of smokers (my co-workers, whose work I need to do -- for no additional pay -- when they are absent), increased health insurance costs (reducing my wages), and other ways in which YOUR personal choices affected me in DIRECT WAYS.]]></description>
