That is a clear misinterpretation of Constitutional rights. We don't have, nor need a constitutional right to do anything. The Constitution regulates the government, not us.It enumerates many, but certainly not all, things that the government cannot deprive its citizens of. Free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom from search and siezure etc.

Another ducument mentions the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness and smoking would fall under the happiness clause I guess. If you thing that your government hasn't gotten out of hand....think again while you still have that right!!!

Oh, BRAVO!!! Well said! BUMP!

Government in America was intended to be a servant. Its overuse has turned it into a tyrant.
