I don't argue against that part of it. The law should be MODIFIED in the way of allowing that. But not in the reverse. Obviously if you have no children in your home. And anyone else living with you smokes also. And you want to rent out the other half of your duplex, then you should have every right to, of course.bingalpaws said:smarts have nothing to do with vaporizers. If you prefer smoking normally to a vaporize, considering the vaporizer's benefits, and still go ahead and use a vaporizer, that was NOT a smart choice for you, your smart choice was to smoke normally.
And about 'it harms others', I mean I *just* explained that in the post directly above yours. Yeah, it harms (may?) others, and? They don't have to live there. Let me present a hypothetical to you that *should* make you understand.
Let's say that I buy a house, and it's a duplex. I originally thought that maybe I'd just make it a single family house, but didn't go through with it and wanted to rent out the other side of the house. However, I'm a smoker. Now, do you think it's fair for me to advertise the other half of that house to rent out? That allows anyone to look at the place and consider all of its attributes - location, property condition, and of course, the fact that the other half of the duplex contains a smoker. Do you honestly feel that I should be denied, by law, the right to rent out the other half of my property just because I smoke? Hell, a smoker could be the one who moves in!!!! By this 'no smoking' logic you'd basically support a scenario where you could have a duplex where both sides contain smokers, yet NONE ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SMOKE AT HOME!! How asinine is that? I honestly don't see how you can make any solid arguments against that.
wikipedia said:210Po is an alpha emitter that has a half-life of 138.376 days; it decays directly to its daughter isotope 206Pb. A milligram of 210Po emits as many alpha particles per second as 4.215 grams of 226Ra. A single gram of 210Po generates 140 watts of power. Because it emits many alpha particles, which are stopped within a very short distance in dense media and release their energy. It is estimated that chromosome damage from alpha particles is about 100 times greater than that caused by an equivalent amount of other radiation.
