Caraway: "Quit Smoking Dallas"

• No ones gonna obey this, everybody is still gonna smoke haha

• please oh please don't let Caraway insert that comma...

• Quit smoking Dallas, there is a dude that hangs out in New Fine Arts that says that is his goal. He's smoking all comers, blowing them away

• Not to nitpick, but have you ever visited a website with a comma in the domain? Were you genuinely confused about the lack of a comma in the slogan, or did you just want to nitpick due to Dwaine Caraway's unfortunate involvement, who is only second-handedly and after-thoughtedly associated with the SMU study? Regardless, you're missing the point that the SMU study is an attempt to try and discover what will best help people in their attempt to quit smoking (if, and when they should so choose to attempt to do so). It is not an attempt on their part to "pick on smokers." It is for people who genuinely want to quit smoking.

• At least he's trying to change something,what are you doing.Call City Hall tell them to add common to agenda.Visit lung cancer patient in ICU.

• �They have created a fear that is based on nothing�� World-renowned pulmonologist, president of the prestigious Research Institute Necker for the last decade, Professor Philippe Even, now retired, tells us that he�s convinced of the absence of harm from passive smoking. A shocking interview. What do the studies on passive smoking tell us? PHILIPPE EVEN. There are about a hundred studies on the issue. First surprise: 40% of them claim a total absence of harmful effects of passive smoking on health. The remaining 60% estimate that the cancer risk is multiplied by 0.02 for the most optimistic and by 0.15 for the more pessimistic � compared to a risk multiplied by 10 or 20 for active smoking! It is therefore negligible. Clearly, the harm is either nonexistent, or it is extremely low. It is an indisputable scientific fact. Anti-tobacco associations report 3 000-6 000 deaths per year in France ... I am curious to know their sources. No study has ever produced such a result. Many experts argue that passive smoking is also responsible for cardiovascular disease and other asthma attacks. Not you? They don�t base it on any solid scientific evidence. Take the case of cardiovascular diseases: the four main causes are obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. To determine whether passive smoking is an aggravating factor, there should be a study on people who have none of these four symptoms. But this was never done. Regarding chronic bronchitis, although the role of active smoking is undeniable, that of passive smoking is yet to be proven. For asthma, it is indeed a contributing factor ... but not greater than pollen! The purpose of the ban on smoking in public places, however, was to protect non-smokers. It was thus based on nothing? Absolutely nothing! The psychosis began with the publication of a report by the IARC, International Agency for Research on Cancer, which depends on the WHO (Editor's note: World Health Organization). The report released in 2002 says it is now proven that passive smoking carries serious health risks, but without showing the evidence. Where are the data? What was the methodology? It's everything but a scientific approach. It was creating fear that is not based on anything. Why would anti-tobacco organizations wave a threat that does not exist? The anti-smoking campaigns and higher cigarette prices having failed, they had to find a new way to lower the number of smokers. By waving the threat of passive smoking, they found a tool that really works: social pressure. In good faith, non-smokers felt in danger and started to stand up against smokers. As a result, passive smoking has become a public health problem, paving the way for the Evin Law and the decree banning smoking in public places. The cause may be good, but I do not think it is good to legislate on a lie. And the worst part is that it does not work: since the entry into force of the decree, cigarette sales are rising again. Why not speak up earlier? As a civil servant, dean of the largest medical faculty in France, I was held to confidentiality. If I had deviated from official positions, I would have had to pay the consequences. Today, I am a free man. Le Parisien

• Monday is my busiest, often suckiest day of the week, when, I light up the most. I'm sure they picked "during morning rush hour" as the best time of day to quit. Did we pay for this data/test? Also, frankly, why pick on the smokers? We keep to ourselves, and understand the "smoker's law" of loaning another a ciggie if it isn't your last, bc you sure as hell wouldn't want that to be you without one. We're regular Dallas diplomats! I believe that 11/18 is also signup day at El Centro for Wintermester. Carraway, et al., can audit an English 101 course for press releases. There are many, many smokers outside El Centro, at any given time, as well. He could either bum one, or tell them to stop after class. His choice.

• Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

• Over the past few years our fair city Has been known for its vast crops of Mary Jane So maybe he really means Dallas.

• I wish Caraway would quit Dallas.

• Warning - The Surgeon General has determined that Dallas contains excessive amounts of tar and a nasty Trinity River aftertaste. "one fringan" after another...

• LOL Roberto. I read the headline and thought, oh, is there some strain of hydro out there named Dallas? Have they really made it to the point of having pictures on cigarette boxes and no one caught the missing comma? Someone call the gammar police.

• Smoking Dallas daily and my lungs are shot and it's only a fake buzz that leaves a nasty migraine.

• The most important thing this city needs is (apparently) an 8th grade grammar lesson. Unless "Dallas" is a strain of weed I've never heard of.

• I'm trying to give up smoking Dallas. I used to smoke three packs of Dallas a day. Now I only smoke Dallas on the weekends. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

• I think "smoking a Dallas" deserves an entry in UrbanDictionary. for smoraza (new snoop dogg saying?)

• In the name of all things Holy, Dwaine hang it up. From fake pot to sagging pants to store signage to legitimate scrapyard businesses Dwaine Caraway wants to do away with everything except poker houses that he plays at.

• So, no droopy pants, no signs on windows at stores, no drinking, no smoking, but poker houses are still OK?
