		<description>Oranges, thank you for bringing me back here and reminding me about the supposed &quot;firefighter&quot; who posted. One of the things I have tried to do over the last several years was get information on fires and smoking bans.  There are several groups out there:  CampusFire.org, NFPA (National Fire Protective Association), and others that I have contacted, sometimes repeatedly in the last seven years to see if they had any data on fires being reduced as the  result of smoking bans.


They had nothing.  Zero.  Zilch.  Nada.  All of these smoking bans out there and the organizations specifically focused on fire safety had absolutely nothing at all to show in the way of evidence that fires had decreased because of them.

However, if you go to:


http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/blackpoolnews/Smoking-ban-blamed-for-rise.6024840.jp?articlepage=2


you will find an article headlined &quot;Smoking Ban Blamed For Rise In Fires&quot; referring specifically to bans in pubs and the UK.

		<description>&#039;I dont care&#039; said:

&quot;As a responsible person would do, I purchased a home after I quit, and before my child was born you idiot. Then, I gutted it and remodeled it completely as to rid any toxic waste from the previous owners. See, Icare for my family’s health.&quot;

So you left your other home which you had, by your own admission, made &quot;toxic&quot; by smoking in for 15 years - for someone ELSE to clean up? You don&#039;t seem to care much for anyone ELSE&#039;s health then.

&quot;I’ll live in my delusions and have a happy, healthy, non-smoking life with my family...
You see I am a firefighter...&quot;

Oh my gosh, a FIREFIGHTER?  How can you be healthy if you&#039;re breathing all those toxic fumes, day and night, and bringing it home on your body for your children to inhale?  You can&#039;t think much of your children.

&quot;and I’ve seen too many families lose their home because of careless smoking. One family lost their daddy.&quot;

Or careless careers, hey.  I&#039;ve known many children lose their fathers because they chose such a dangerous profession as FIREFIGHTING.

&quot;You might understand that if you saw that families face when we pulled their charred daddy from the ashes&quot; - yep, maybe YOU will understand what your children will have to go through one day, since their father didn&#039;t care about if he left them fatherless because of his bad choice of career.  Not a good &#039;family&#039; career.

Then again, your probably to busy bashing some smoker to care about a healthy life.</description>

		<description>The simple fact of the matter is that anti-smokers will never, EVER believe something that didn&#039;t originate within their own &quot;community&quot; if you will.  People simply don&#039;t like to be told they&#039;re wrong, and some people just like to have something to bitch about...especially if it&#039;s something they don&#039;t personally subscribe to.  That, Renae, IS a FACT.</description>

		<description>Oh... one other thing Renae:  Nicotine is not carcinogenic.  I&#039;d refer you to the 11th Conference Report of IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) or the EPA for confirmation.
