Don't flick that cigarette out the window

12-28-07 ALMONT, Mich. -The Flint Journal- A tossed cigarette landed two men in the Lapeer County jail for Christmas.
Patricia Moore and her family were driving through Almont from a holiday dinner in St. Clair Shores on Sunday when a police officer pulled them over to ask who threw a cigarette out the window.
After no one owned up, Moore tells The Flint Journal the officer ordered her daughter to get out of the car after discovering she didn't have proof of insurance. Alvin Moore told her to stay put.

Patricia Moore says overzealous police are punishing her husband and son-in-law James Dunsmore -- who flicked the cigarette -- for exercising constitutional rights. Police say they were uncooperative.

Police reports submitted to the Lapeer County Prosecutor's office claim the men were uncooperative, belligerent and that one of the men locked the door and nearly closed a car window on a police officer's fingers.

They're jailed on charges of resisting and obstructing police.

No More Smoky French Cafes

[BBC]French cafes set to ban smoking
France is transforming the image of traditional smoke-filled cafes
France is poised to extend its smoking ban to bars, cafes, restaurants and discos, but the measure will not be enforced fully until 2 January.
The health ministry said smokers would be allowed a 24-hour "grace" period for the New Year festivities.
The ban, which will also cover casinos and hotels, comes on top of a partial ban on smoking in public places that took effect in February.
Similar bans are already in place in Britain, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
The French health ministry said the wider ban, due to take effect on 1 January, would not be monitored strictly during the New Year festivities, in a gesture of "tolerance".
Any smoker caught flouting the ban thereafter faces a 450-euro (£332; $662) fine, while those who turn a blind eye to smokers on their premises can be fined up to 750 euros.
France has about 13.5 million smokers among its population of 60.7 million.
In February smoking became outlawed in French airports, railway stations, hospitals, schools, shops and offices.
The new ban is seen as a big cultural shift for France, where smoky cafes have long been the haunts of famous artists and philosophers. The ban does not include pavement tables or open-air terraces.
In 2004, Ireland became the first European country to introduce a comprehensive smoking ban in all workplaces, including pubs and restaurants.

Last Chantix pill

Well I had my last Chantix pill yesterday, we will see what happens. i was using it for 5 months. I feel very good about being smoke free! I see with eyes from a 3 month perspective of not smoking. I can understand the drugs[ tobacco, nicotine whatever else is in there] could convince you to keep using it. I still get some cravings but they go away fast as I am easily distracted.
