You only get your freedoms as long as they dont infringe on other people's freedoms. As someone said earlier, there's no such thing as second-hand fat. There IS second-hand smoke that can give someone lung cancer that could take years off their life. I hope this is just a sad trolling attempt.

I am by no means "liberal", however, YOU are the one infringing upon MY RIGHT when you smoke. I get your UNWANTED second hand smoke that causes me to cough and suffer all because "you should be free to do what you want, when you want, i.e., kill other people around you because you're chooosing to kill yourself." Second-hand smoke has been proven to cause lung cancer, and other effects. But you are right, you are free to kill yourself (smoke) if you would like but do it on your own time in YOUR own private space. Why should we non-smokers suffer because of your stupidity? You're an idiot #87

you can't get up in arms about it. it's a public safety thing. I don't smoke but if you smoke around me you are causing harm to the person who wishes to avoid it. speed limits are much the same. I want to drive 115 mph on the freeway but laws tell me I can't. are they restricting my freedoms or are they protecting other people? beyond that, from an ethics standpoint, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. ethically it is YOUR responsibility not to smoke in places where non-smokers congregate. there are safe havens for smokers. many places such as bars and the like allow for smoking, but Ruby Tuesdays or the metro station are places where many children and non-smokers gather so smoking there needs to not be permissible. I'm all for someone smoking if they so choose, but consider the harm you could be doing to others before you raise the flags of war over your restrictions

He may be wasting money himself, but he's at least stimulating the economy? :D

yeah it doesnt say she is underaged buuut it does say my mom therefore she is under age.

I still live with my parents, and I'm 19. I'm goin to college and saving money.

And people say my mom, anyways. What do you call your parents?

normally I would be on your side but in this case it's moms house, mom's rules. even if op doesn't live at home the cigs should have at least been left in the car to avoid the conflict. the fact that the kitty litter on the bed was an FML moment makes me think op does live at home and thus shouldn't have had the cigarettes to begin with. it reminds me of the adage "don't bite the hand that feeds you"
