Better in what way? In regards to decision making and willpower, they certainly are. I'd also venture a guess that the average IQ of non-smokers is higher than that of smokers.Big_Mirg_ZHS;1181613 wrote:Its the perception that non smokers think they are better than smokers
At least one study has been done that indicates that this is true.2kool4skool;1181978 wrote:I'd also venture a guess that the average IQ of non-smokers is higher than that of smokers.

Not to mention, a sample of 1 always seems to be enough proof.bigkahuna;1182334 wrote:Typical OC response
We all have the following
1. Six figure jobs
2. Super model gf's/wives
3. 4.3 40 speed
4. 8.5" members
5. IQs of 150+, even though we don't know the difference between there, they're, their, your, you're, and to, two, too.
5a. We should probably just rename this sight mensachatter.com

FIFY. You may be a genius, but there's no way you passed middle school English. I didn't even mess with your sentence structure.Big_Mirg_ZHS;1181614 wrote:I'm poisoning the air?? Hahaha.

But apparently not high enough to understand what the word "average" means.Big_Mirg_ZHS;1182289 wrote:I have a high enough of an IQ to be in mensa so try again bud.
So we should just do away with the health department?
Yes, but the argument has to do with why this particular health department statute should be a property right issue in the mind of some, but only that statute.HitsRus;1182436 wrote:????what does that have to do with what I posted? "The Health Department" has been existence long before cigarettes and tobacco became unpopular.
Because most of what the health department and FDA do is to protect people from what they can't observe - you don't usually see the kitchen or how the food is prepared.ts1227;1182439 wrote:... but what really makes it special compared to anything else that the health department enforces?
A very common sense approach, and hardly ground-breaking nor an elusive idea. But tolerance/accommodation does not fit with the prohibition-minded agenda. It's working, too - smoking rates have dropped significantly and continue to decline. High taxes weren't particularly effective, but gradually taking away opportunities/places to smoke is proving to be very effective.queencitybuckeye;1179872 wrote: The number of bars in an area is already controlled by law. Add to the licensing process a distinction between smoking and non-smoking bars and grant licenses for each in proportion to the percent of smokers. IOW, if a city has 10 bars and 20% of the population smokes, 8 of the bars would be licensed as non-smoking, 2 as smoking.
