		<description>I&#039;m a pipe and cigar smoker and thanks to this site I&#039;ve become an avid snus user.  That being said the article linked above in the comments where Banzhaf said that  a man&#039;s home is no longer his castle, presents an interesting question.  I don&#039;t smoke in my own home and if I was unfortunate enough to live in a common wall living arrangement and the neighbors smoked so heavily that the smell permeated my place, that seems like a violation of my property rights.  Although, I can&#039;t imagine that a judge would have made the same decision if the neighbors were pickling beets every night although to my mind it is the exact same trespass.</description>

		<description>Off-topic, but I thought you&#039;d appreciate this, Radley.  I&#039;ve cleaned out the citations.

From Herring v. United States, Ginsberg&#039;s dissent, in a footnote:
&lt;blockquote&gt;It has been asserted that police departments have become sufficiently “professional” that they do not need external deterrence to avoid Fourth Amendment violations. But professionalism is a sign of the exclusionary rule’s efficacy—not of its superfluity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>It should also be noted that Mr. Banzhaf has chortled happily over the idea that, as he put it, a &lt;a href=&quot;http://no-smoking.org/july05/07-22-05-2.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&#039;man&#039;s home is no longer his castle&#039;&lt;/a&gt;. 

I&#039;m reminded of the scene in &lt;i&gt;Dr. Zhivago&lt;/i&gt;, where the poor doc returns home (after years of involuntary servitude to the socialist thugs of the Red Revolution) to his own house that has several families squatting in it and a low-level &lt;i&gt;zampolit&lt;/i&gt; (political officer) type and his equally ugly female colleague who hectors him.  That&#039;s where we&#039;re heading if this isn&#039;t stopped. Enough with these self-appointed saviors!</description>

I smoke cigars and not cigarettes, the downward spiral because of the Health Nazi&#039;s continue.</description>

Nemo, what makes you think THEY&#039;RE not already thinking about it?

Of course, the way this world is going, perhaps what&#039;s going on is actually dysgenics.</description>

		<description>Scottp, it&#039;s when an another website simply links to an image stored on your website&#039;s server space, as opposed to saving the image and uploading it to their own server.

The Stogie Guys handled it correctly. A couple of years ago, the Intelligent Design site Uncommon Descent was stealing bandwidth from The New York Observer by using a copyrighted image of Richard Dawkins. I emailed the tech guys and and provided with an image with which to pull the same gag, and they were all for it. Unfortunately, their editor shot them down. Too bad, as it would have been epic.</description>
