Stanton Glantz has direct influence over San Francisco City/County government using Mitch Katz, City Health Director, with whom he shares the same office at UCSF, as the gopher-boy to take Stanton's demands and have them made into law in San Francisco.<br /><br />Thus, outdoor smoking in the parks - is banned. Outdoor smoking on city sidewalks - is banned.<br /><br />So there is no tobacco aroma going to drift past Glantz's precious little nose, not in San Francisco, nor in Marin County to the north, which is also outdoor smoke banned.<br /><br />It helps to have your office-mate be City Health Director, how convenient that appointment by billionaire glitter-boy Mayor Newsom that decision turned out to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-17715144663025670842011-03-15T18:40:35.626+00:002011-03-15T18:40:35.626+00:00Anon,

Counting up every instance of smoking in every film ever made and comparing them to each other? I’m sure as Kori Titus lays on her deathbed (with her pristine lungs intact), she will turn to her children, and say with her dying words, “My only regret is that I didn’t count more instances of smoking in popular culture.”"</i><br /><br />:)Dick Puddlecotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481866882188932892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-89136790973593223612011-03-15T13:44:25.151+00:002011-03-15T13:44:25.151+00:00Let's slash the murder rate by stopping showin...Let's slash the murder rate by stopping showing murders in films - you know it makes sense.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
