That's what I was thinking. Nobody forced this genius to sit outside in the cold to smoke, it was his decision. Let's see, stay inside where it's warm and don't smoke or go outside in sub freezing temps to have a cig. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

65 years old, in a nursing home, needs a cigarette so bad he will sit outside in sub-freezing weather to have one. I'm guessing emphysema or cancer and his family was sick to death of caring for this cigarette addicted lame brain at home.

This nursing home is his private property (his home).

I guess you are ok allowing the gov't to tell you what you can do in your home, what you buy for groceries (feed your kids), etc?

Shouldn't science based regulations be needed to take away someones personal property? Show me where a hurricane force wind is needed, and why the last ones were not appropriate?

BTW you have to rely on the known science of toxicology, not one wisp and all people within 9 meters die (or if you smell it it will instantly cause cancer, which doesn't happen).
