I Think This Is Relavent - Mombu the Cigars, Habanos and Pipes Forum

I just got out of the hospital with what is supposed to be "pneumonia".
Given that I work in a bus depot with about 400 buses going past me day and
night, do you think my pipesmoking is gonna kill me? Check this article
out if you think so:

Here in Cleveland (The Mistake on the Lake) our mayor-ess wants to ban
smoking in bars and restaurants to "protect the health of workers and
patrons." Meanwhile, our local transit authority has just decided
*not* to continue operating natural gas burning buses (which are do
not pollute the air), and instead will buy 126 new diesel engined
buses because they're cheaper to operate!

Hypocrisy? You betcha!

It goes beyond expediency and hypocricy...I think it borders on criminal.
The average age to death of a bus driver in NYC is less than 2 years from
the age of retirement(about 57) Given that we're supposed to live to eighty
or so, I think some of us are getting shortchanged. So you know what? I'm
gonna keep smoking in my bus and take everyone with me!!!
