I don't smoke but I think it is crap that the government is telling people what they can and can't do. Smoking is a legal activity last time I checked. Plus the tobacco companies are some of the biggest corporations in the country. Considering the state of the economy do we really think it is a good idea to put a whole bunch more people out of work.
I heard a news story that they are considering banning smoking in your own home if you have children under the age of 16 in the house.
They have been after our guns for years and we have been pretty successfull at keeping the government out of our buisness. However, everytime we allow the government to regulate one group it makes it that much easier to regulate the next one. So whats next. Will they outlaw cheese burgers, cause there is too much fat and it is unhealty and plugs our arteries.
Come on people, we need to get the government out of our buisness. I'm fine with no smoking sections in resturants and bars. Let the smokers have their rights.
If you like to smoke I'm pretty sure there is a document that says this country was founder with the intention to allow all free men to persue happiness.
Please no extreme resposes saying "does that mean we have to allow pedafiles to persue their happiness" and similar statements. Lets have common sense rule the day for once.
