And you thought our smoking ban was bad!
Those who complain about our smoking rules, regulations and bans should be very happy we aren’t like those radical progressives in Sweden.
According to a recent article, a Swedish woman has been sued for smoking in her own garden.
United Press International - NewsTrack - Smoker sued for lighting up in her garden
This Swede lawyer is going to test exactly how anti-smoking Europe's courts are willing to be. He has filed a lawsuit against his neighbor for smoking outside in her own garden alleging the in the suit that even though the neighbor lights up in a corner farthest away from his property, the smoke still drifts into his nostrils and through his open windows. He states he cannot even open his windows because of the smoke.
This lawyer wants a court to award him about $2,000 for the prior smoking and an extra $280 for each future offense.
So the question remains; do we have a smoking problem or a lawyer problem? No offense to lawyers as they are some of my best friends as well as family.

Strictly speaking, it's possible we have both.
Why doesn't anyone want to blame the a-hole/princess who "cannot even open his windows" because of this?!?! If it's such a problem, maybe he should just breathe through his mouth...
I wonder whom he'll sue when he finally finds that pea under his mattress.
Maybe we should just get the crummiest lawyers to smoke more and let one problem take care of the other.
I'm not sure the breathing through the mouth thing would make a difference. It sounds like he already does.
Dan, there are many--actually most-- of us here in Floyd county who support your position. You should know that. We await your comments. Keep them coming!
I would like to dispute mailman's comment above. I have yet to run into someone who supports HB. The people I know think he's a nut.
Mr.Mailman I've said it before.Once you support Dr.Dan on this blog you will always see it followed by a negative comment.You see as usual anonymous 10:39 did not give their name.When you run around in a closet,you more then likely dont run into to many people.
Anonymous 10:56, you once again raise the question: "Does HB have any supporters with above-GED writing skills?"
haha . . . i always love it when anonymous posters attack others for remaining anonymous. thanks for the good laugh, 10:56.
If the "world" would spend more time worrying about what we do as individuals, instead of what the other guy is doing we do not agree with, we would probably be in a better collective state.
Collective state? Isn't that another term for communism? How un-American!
its personal choice
my two cents, a bunch of damn nazis. mind your own business arrogant nannies
