Whether one can take up smoking, or not, would depend on the city or state
in which one resides, wouldn't it?

By the way, when did CO2 become a pollutant. Like ozone the largest
producer of CO2
is nature, by far. Do the environuts now want the EPA to regulate nature?
If so, finally we have reached the point the nuts are actually running the
asylum LOL

I remember when the Environmental Protection Act was enacted under the
auspiciousness of a Republican President. A friend remarked, finally the
federal government has done something to protect the people. A more astute
friend profoundly remarked, but who will protect the people from the EPA in
twenty years or so? LOL

The environuts are applauding the PETA-nuts campaign to get people to eat
less beef, to reduce the number of cow farts, reduce pollution and save the
world

GMs secret plan to turn the corporation around,and reduce pollution in the
US at the same time, is to begin building all of their vehicles in China.
If they were smart the would move the corporate headquarters to Japan and
get all of those tax brakes and get away from paying US federal corporate
taxes The only problem is Toyota is already years ahead of them in plans
to build most of their vehicles in China by 2015 LOL

Yes. And tax it.
Just like the Romans used to tax urine.
