Hillary Clinton lavished praise on New York City's tough anti-smoking laws yesterday - and said she supports smoking bans in public places across the country.
Asked at an Iowa forum on cancer whether banning smoking in public places would be good for America, Clinton replied, "Well, personally, I think so. And that's what a lot of local communities and states are starting to do."

An iron-lunged pensioner has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigerette from a candle on her birthday cake.

Winnie Langley started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old - and has got through five a day ever since.

She has no intention of quitting, even after the nationwide ban forced tobacco-lovers outside.

Speaking at her 100th birthday party Winnie said: "I have smoked ever since infant school and I have never thought about quitting.
Okay, I'm not honestly comparing the two, or advocating smoking, just thought it was... odd, that these two stories were positioned near each other on Drudge.

HILLARY SUPPORTS NATIONAL SMOKING BAN...

And then, two links down,

100-year-old celebrates her birthday by smoking 170,000th cigarette...
Still, the smoking ban in bars and restaurants is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. And I've heard of Ashton Kutcher. How is it possible this is what both sides seem to agree on?

They banned smoking... in a place designed specifically for smoking.

Or, let's take an activity comprised of smoking and drinking, cut out the smoking and then let in all the people in who didn't like half the activity in the first place. Hey let's also take rock-climbing, cut out the giant rock part, and make it safe for people who don't like heights.

As far as restaurants go... What was wrong with having a smoking and non-smoking section? Or even, if we must, creating smoking and non-smoking bars?

Nope, let's just ban everything.

I'll take the 100-year-old Winnie.




No, TheCoolerKing doesn't smoke.
