I’m not a smoker. I’m also not someone who wants the all-powerful Federal bureaucracy seizing ever more power to be my personal nanny.

As Mark Steyn said, “You don’t need a President-For-Life” when you have a “Bureaucracy-For-Life”. Please stay the hell out of this FDA.

I'm not a smoker either. But I remember

• when restaurants didn't have a non-smoking section and you just had to deal with it when smokers were being inconsiderate
• when restaurants implemented non-smoking sections but the ventilation wasn't good enough to prevent the smoke from wafting to where you were eating.
• working in a place where a brown cloud formed inside the building due to the smokers.
• Going dancing and coming home and tasting the cigarette smoke the next morning.
• My brother dying of cancer at 32. He smoked. Did it cause his cancer. Don't know.
• My aunt dying of lung cancer 4 years after she stopped. Did it cause her cancer. Highly probable.

  I think the world is a much better place since smoking has been kicked outdoors. And I think people are healther as a result.

  I wouldn't mind seeing the nicotine in cigarettes reduced to non-addictive levels. Does anyone really believe that the smokers aren't responsible for some of the insurance costs?
