I farted on Gitana when she was docked at Dom's marina.
 
With one hundred votes in....CSR tracks very closely with the national numbers. ~ 20% are smokers.

However, myself included, of those that voted that they don't smoke, I assume they were voting on cigarettes. I wonder how many of the 80%'ers are cigar smokers...either regularly or occaisonally?

I've run some highly complex analytical mathematical algorithms and have determined that 50% of the 80% are at least occasional cigar smokers. :grin:
 
Boy the NJ bashing is funny... We don't smoke and don't have many friends who do...Only smoking on the platform... It is very hard to be a smoker in NJ... Even the biker bars where RonDDS plays are smoke free... For the most part I am against all laws and regulations, but I must say I love the our smoke free restaurants, beaches and public places.

I love the smell of diesel, especially in the morning... Its goes nicely with a cup of coffee...
 
Smoking has been well cut to pieces by the majority in the forum, and perhaps rightfully so. But I as a smoker who considers quitting, I am faced with a moral dellima - since the SCHIPS is funded specifically by cigarette taxes. And so I resign myself to continue smoking - for the children....

If you move up to a Diesel boat, you can have this guy parked in front of your house while he re-fuels your tanks.....you can suck up all the fumes from the delivery truck and then start you own motors and enjoy your own exhaust from your deck.....it's what the fashionalbe boat snob does these days....

Doesn't everyone, sort of, pay for all of the health "repair" costs that eventually happen after years of "smoke-in" (and obesity)?

I think I am talking about some of those "Medicare" costs that are simply paid for with huge amounts of tax dollars.

So yeah, "its a free country" everybody light up, we'll pay for you brother.

Do the taxes you "smokers pay", pay for smoker related health repair?

Do you have to pay those "taxes" if you buy from a "reservation" or are those smokes exempt?

I think I am talking about some of those "Medicare" costs that are simply paid for with huge amounts of tax dollars. Me too.
So yeah, "its a free country" everybody light up, we'll pay for you brother. and everyone else too, regardless of what creates the need.

If socialists and communists hadn't promoted the take over the payment systems for medical care you wouldn't even need to be concerned . So to recap; government takes money from Joe to for Jack's medical care then tells Jack what he can and cannot do. MM

I thought they took money from Joe and Jack for Joe and Jacks medical care and then told Joe and Jack both what they can and can't do.

I don't us Jersey guys can't get any respect... We have the best Governor in the country... He's the opposite of our current pres... He is short, fat, Conservative, tells people the truth (even if it hurts) and knows how to balance a budget... The unions and liberal media hate him, and the majority of the working tax payers love him...

OldSkool's Jefferson qoute comes to mind here; "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."

I think i'm going to take a bubble bath tonight. ooops wrong forum. sorry.
 
I just realized I voted wrong in this poll. I am a smoker so I voted that I am. However, I have never "smoiked" either.:grin:

To rcknecht: I now retract my former statement that I've never heard of anything good in NJ. You are right, Christie is a pretty good governor. Still not enough to make me come visit though...sorry.:smt009 I'll wait till you guys get your ashtrays out of impound and I don't scratch my gel coat on a syringe if I wanna beach it...:grin:
