Ever since fanatic anti-smoking groups began their nonsense, they have assured us all that they do not want to eradicate tobacco or come into our homes. Those fighting the bans called them liars and justifiably so. They have lied about most everything else when pursuing their oppressive legislation, and freedom fighters have seen their ilk before. We know these fanatics.

I’ve told you why they don’t want to kill tobacco; they make too much money from it. But when it comes to legislating where one may smoke, they are all over the place. The Ontario Medical Association now says, “The OMA is recommending government turn its attention to raising awareness around the issue and, possibly, instituting a ban on smoking in any homes, vehicles or facilities that offer childcare services.”

This isn’t about smoking around kids, however. This is about smoking in homes where kids live or visit and cars in which kids ride, even if kids aren’t present when someone is smoking. “The reason, (sic) is that cigarettes release gaseous chemicals in smoke that condense on surfaces, and are then re-released later.”

Tobacco smoke is magical, don’t you know? It lies in wait in the form of a solid and then suddenly turns to gas when kids are around and pounces on them. That sounds like a fool’s mission. Since tobacco smoke is so crafty, it would seem that while in the gaseous state it would fly around seeking out children rather lying dormant and waiting for children to come to it.

The OMA is talking about home businesses for the most part and, for right now, only those home businesses that serve children. However, this is just another brick in the oppression highway.

“This report will lead the way in taking action against SHS in spaces that children should feel safe and protected,” said Dr. John Rapin, President of the OMA.” Coming soon to a home near you.

Cigarette smoke doesn’t just get on surfaces in buildings; it also gets on smokers’ clothes. We smokers are walking arsenals of tobacco toxins. Our lungs serve as conveyors of death, and our clothes are like the bandages of lepers. Egads!

Those “No Smoking” signs that you see plastered all over everything may very likely change to “No Smokers” if the nannies have their way. “Smokers’ elevator in the rear.” “Smokers must report immediately to the biohazard room for detox before being admitted to other areas of this building.” “No valet service for smokers, sorry.”

I smoke, and there is a brownish film on my car windows when I’m cleaning them. There is no doubt in my mind that the film is solidified tobacco smoke. In the hopes of getting rid of this film, I invited some kids to go for a ride with me. I expected to hear some evil sound like that of a demon awakening while the solid poison altered itself to a gaseous state and attacked. However, it was very anti-climatic. The film didn’t move, the kids didn’t cough, and I’m stuck with a bottle of Windex and a shop rag. I thought I was on to something.

I would like to point out that the OMA does not provide any hard statistical data. They do acknowledge various “studies” but they provide no details. Further, all the studies that they do cite are studies that have been funded by other nannies, like – Louis Gleeson; Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco (OCAT), Michael Perly; (OCAT), Ontario Medical Association, Ontario Tobacco Research Unit, Conference on Tobacco and Health, Physicians for a Tobacco-Free Canada, EPA, and Stan Glantz. Glantz has admitted that he has filed falsified reports. Go figure
