OT Calif. City Bans Smoking in Public Places
Actually, after I had one of my cataract surgeries, one of the stitches worked out enough that it was painful. My opthalmologist (ofphtalmologist, heck with it - EYE DOCTOR) was licensed for topical cocaine and used it to deaden the eye while he pulled the offending stitch. This was '85 or so. -- Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe There's lots of stuff that is illegal for recreastional use that has a valid and legal use in medicine. Example - diamorphine, which is heroin. Cheers, helen s |

You could buy over the counter preparations with marijuana 100 years ago. "Over-the-counter"? Are you sure you're not confusing it with cocaine? Or opium? I didn't know marijauna COULD be used in any form but smoking it! (And of course the "pot brownies" mentioned in stories about the 1960's.) |

Smokers usually don't resort to violent crime to maintain their habit. They don't have to; smoking is legal. I assume cigarettes are cheaper, and since possession of illegal drugs is already criminal, it probably makes it a bit easier to cross the line from non-violent to violent crime. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I was very glad and relieved when smoking was banned from all public places in Slovenia a few years ago. Before that I worked for a year in an office with a woman who chain-smoked. I would open the window and she would close it Ewww. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. How horrible. But slowly things changed back to the way they were before the ban and now if I want to go have a coffee with some friends who like me do not smoke I can hardly find a place where people are not allowed to smoke. That's too bad. Maybe you can look on the bright side: you spend less money if you don't go to those places! I know, it's not much consolation. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Long before the current attitudes toward smoking, I had a state sales tax auditor in my office. One of the first things he did was light a cigarette and when I frowned he informed me that if I objected to the smoke I should leave. Wish I'd been in the position at the time to tell him where to go and how to get there. Charlie has always hated second hand smoke. When he worked in the Pentagon, everyone he worked with knew what would happen if a smoker had the poor judgment to set an ashtray on his desk. (They usually break when they hit the wall) Jo |
