RE: Smoking / Burmuda Grass

I'm not a smoker, but I respect the tobacco plant and any person using
any plant.  

How about a "go to the downwind corner of the garden" policy?   

Maybe the dispersive quality of outdoor air (pathogens, car exhaust and
all) make it one of those matters of personal choice to be indulged in
responsibly with respect for the neighbors, not something that needs
prohibition.

Being tolerant is part of the process.

Bermuda Grass: You might lose part of your season, but solarizing the 
garden by covering with clear plastic in warm weather might actually 
help kill the stuff. It's up to you and the gardeners whether you do 
it at the beginning or the end of the season. Around here, people 
tend to get a mite gardened out in Aug. & Sept. We'd probably try it 
then.

Smoking: As a long time smoker, I really resent folk trying to make 
the whole universe smoke-free. Why don't you see what else you can 
work out. The intense anti-smoker probably still thinks that low fat, 
high carb eating is healthy.
