Thanks so much for the link robbster! We’d love to help anyone out there who’s struggling with their addiction to dip - as a former 16+ year can/day Kodiak man I know how difficult it can be to quit, but I can also tell you that it CAN be done.
cheers!

Glad to learn about what looks to be an *excellent* resource. Just reviewed the site for StumbleUpon.com, which should create some interest.

All this anti-tobacco, anti-drug material seems a bit fascist to me. Hitler was also very anti-tobacco. I feel that it is best to encourage people to reduce their use of drugs but probation is just repression.

Hi, Christian. I want to remind you that Hitler, and other fascists, were dictators. In a democratic system, citizens can get clear about their values (like the freedom to breath clean air, along with not having to use one’s tax dollars on health care caused by smoking) and enact and enforce laws that reflect those societal values. You’re seeing activism, not fascism.

Hi Christian,
This site is here for informational and educational purposes.
If individuals are unable to control air quality issues then I would hope that it would pass to the state level in order to control for the public good.
Cheers,
robbster
Kirk nice to see you here!
