0.08 BAC headed down to 0.03 BAC (on it’s way down to Sweden’s 0.01 BAC) federally imposed (via highway gas tax monies) sailed by without dope smokers giving a damn.

Demonizing alcohol does nothing to make society more perfect for smokers

I've never demonized alcohol - I have pointed out that many anti-dope arguments apply as well or better to alcohol.

(same with the lack of concern as tobacco use was restricted

Requiring restaurant, bar, and club owners to ban smoking was and remains immoral.

and grounds for employment termination).

I think employers should be free to hire and fire for any reason they deem fit. I haven't heard that anyone has been fired for smoking tobacco.

“I haven’t heard that anyone has been fired for smoking tobacco. “

You are 2 years behind the times. Many are fired daily for smoking. Just one examle is all employees of the University System in Georgia are subject to being terminated if they are smokers. Many more examples nation wide, with more to come with tighter implementation of 0bamacare, as the gov’t gets more involved with everyone’s health choices.
