See "Green New Deal" only it's international rather than domestic.

I smoked Marlboros for years and finally gave up the habit. I still smoke cigars and will smoke cigarettes when I'm drinking at times, but it's very rare for me. It doesn't bother me if someone chooses to smoke cigarettes and it certainly doesn't "offend" me if they do so in my presence... as long as it's not in my home or in my vehicle.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Same here. After about three beers, cigarettes start to make a lot of sense. Also if I happen to be out past midnight. Other than that, it's a nasty, stinky habit.
