You can't buy cigarettes at a pharmacy, but you can buy non-FDA regulated weight loss "medicine."

banning privately run smoking bars is ridiculous. people should be able to form a space where they come together to smoke. NOBODY IS FORCED TO BE THERE.

"pharmacies shouldn't dispense cigarettes" really? why is that? a pharmacy is a store that sells medicine as well as other goods, not a health adviser.

@ttiiyy Yeah, it's obvious from the language you use and your obvious intelligence what a high-class individual you are.

@ttiiyy Believe what you want...Just be careful when you go out w/car exhaust..factories & pollution w/all those chemicals in fact put yourself in a bubble. Be cause in 30 years there will still be lung cancer victims that never smoked or around it...Cancer just hits anyone like a heart attack, The media wanted someone to blame so they picked on us smokers. You better be careful w/karma w/your attitude because payback is a bitch young one!

@217ify LOL Yeah as if Boston would want a dirty motherfucker like you. We don't want your kind here. So fuck off forever. People like you deserve in a shit hole full of dirty drug addicts and hookers.

You are just too cheap to live in Boston. It's always poor white trash that smoke the most.

[ttiiyy]

@Godzie1 Oh, shut the fuck up. We don't want to get lung cancer from inhaling the second hand smoke.

You have the nerves to say that people should get shot? You disgusting son of a bitch. You're the reason that I don't feel sorry for those people with holes in their throats. These motherfuckers are not only dirty outside but also dirty inside like you.

Watch out for karma, you dirty son of a bitch.

@gofindyourownawesome How does it affect your freedom if you do not smoke? What the hell are you talking about?

Why are you getting emotional about the laws that actually help protect your health?

If a bunch of smokers smoke around you and your family. When you tell them not to smoke in front of the children, and they tell you to go fuck yourself. Are you willing to leave? Are you willing to do so forever? I think not! Don't be a hypocrite.

[ttiiyy]

This is why I don't feel sorry for people that get lung cancer from smoking. Why should we feel sorry for them when they don't give a shit about our health?

They know damn well that the second hand smoke will harm people around them (I read in a news article that people who inhale the second hand smoke have a higher chance of getting lung cancer). Screw them.

ur selling prescriptions, that people get hooked on and kills and ur worried about selling cigarettes? which btw no one goes to, to buy since we just go to deli's? c'mon all of our freedom is just being taken away, and ignorant naive people are just letting it happen

[gofindyourownawesome]

I'm not a smoker, I never will be and if you are I will encourage you to stop.

That said, this is a horrible idea, and a heinous limit on our personal freedoms.

[Godzie1]

Fight to stay open. Too many bars & restaurants closed down.

You hoity toity uppity complaners should be shot!
