So, the good people in the Kansas Legislature have seen past the political circus act. Guess Oz gave these good lawmakers a brain and a heart.

It's a crying shame that the Kansas Legislature let the good people of Kansas down. They should be ashamed of themselves and hang their heads in lowly remorse. They must be living in the land of OZ and know no better. In todays world smoking is out, it should only be done outside.

It is rumored that both Dorothy and Auntie Em often sat on the porch together in the calm, Kansas evenings smoking a rather large Hookah pipe. It was what sustained Auntie Em during the time her lovely niece was swept away to Oz.

Some may call it weak; others might call it pleasurable. In either case, at least in Kansas one has a choice.

Just a vicious rumor,spread by a desperate Hookah salesmen. They do that type thing when people wise up and quit smoking Hookahs. It's much like the cigarette salesman who lie to get one more sweet little child addicted to their dastardly product.

Pleasurable? Only if you call pertinacious perdition pleasurable! I think sucking on a cigarette not only harms your health, but also makes you look funny .

Premier: I chose to post this on your response because I believe you will certainly relate. I appreciated your short, but clear message.

Attached is a link to an essay: It is a very eloquently written and poignant piece. I hope there are people here who will read and absorb its message: and, please pass it on to as many people as you can. Thank you.

The good people of Kansas,a state that has mostly good people living in it,a state with more than it's share of open sky and space. This type of good people dseserve to be able to live smoke free,and not have to contend with tobacco smoke inside any building open to the public. P.S. they should also run any Hookah salesman off, or maybe tar and feather him. Imagine and feel the shame, a salesman starting a such nasty rumor about Dorthy and Auntie Em.

Use this forum to communicate with non-smokers and put our efforts to outlaw smoking and raise taxes on cigs for every election cycle. WE ARE THE MAJORITY!
If you post, you ARE debating the issue. The first part of your id is correct for you

You good people in Kansas,I belive Linda has an agenda to make you all addicted smokers and to sell you Hookahs. I belive her brother may sell the durn things. If she has her way I belive she will have every child over 6years old sucking on a Hookah and may even plan to have Hookahs in the schools. Keep you eyes out for other sinster Hookah pushers as they may all be a bunch of addicts.

Candid, you love that word "hookah" as much as I do. I think, after finding that both Dorothy and Auntie Em, smoked the hookah on the porch before the great twister hit, that you secretly want to try it out. Once I started thinking about the word, hookah, it kind of stayed on my mind. It has a ring about it. HOOKA, HOOKA, everyone, Hooka party at Candid's house, kind of like the Animal House Toga parties. OK, now I'm getting silly, gotta go toke from the hookah.

That's not true Sheri, the truth is you want to go with Linda and sell Hookah pipes which will inslave the good people living in Kansas causing them to become jombies.This is not good for Kansas or the rest of America. Warning to all good people living in Kansas,If you see Sheri or Linda selling Hookah pipes in you great state play it safe,send them away.

You sound so stupid, I bet you wake up everyday just looking for a fight, anyone who is not like you is a loser right?? Quess what? Smokers do live in this country also, and finally one state got it right, wars were fought to keep our freedoms here in America, the freedom to choose to smoke or not to smoke not to control and have everyone think alike. Have you ever heard of compromise??? If half of you anti-smokers used your energy towards something that really needs to be taken care of, oh like hunger, child abuse, alcoholism, etc. maybe you would actually make a differenc in this world. Stop the bashing and get a life!

Not nice Candid! Some may see that Kansas still believes in the American Flag and the Freedom of choice it represents. I applaud kansas they didn't tell the counties they couldn't they just told the counties they didn't have too.

So what that means for the ACS is that they will have to spread their money a bit thinner and spend alot more before they can buy Kansas.

That is called enterprise. All of the states should of done the same. The ACS would of spent alot more money. But hopefully not for long they will be taken up for TAX Fraud. So they will feel the Fines.

Like the Girl for Shake and Bake Chicken said: And I'll help.
