Years ago, he said, when restrictions on smoking were first introduced, "the spirit of the legislation was supposedly to protect people who did not want to be exposed to smoke." Today, he said, the motivating spirit had changed: People disapprove of the habit, and wish to restrict it whether or not it affects them directly.

So. The solution here is to step outside on your porch or balcony and smoke away.
Ooops. I’m sure they have laws against that too.

I guarantee you this will only be enforced on white, middle-class taxpayers. Can you see them trying to enforce it on the illegals living in those types of dwellings?

If they try to prohibit the smoking of marijuana there will be hell to pay.

I can’t imagine living in a “house” that shares walls.

Today, he said, the motivating spirit had changed: People disapprove of the habit, and wish to restrict it whether or not it affects them directly. That has ALWAYS been the motive behind the bans.

The Left's "lifeboat" conception of healthcare will lead to an infinity of such interventions into our private lives. If "everyone" is paying for healthcare then "everyone" has a stake in how you conduct yourself and, thus, has a "right" to tell you what you can and can't ingest, what you can and can't weigh, how much sun you must or must not get, what medications you may or may not have, what surgery you may or may not receive, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,... Universal healthcare is the key to universal control.

Instead of imposing these nuisance rules and regulations, why don’t the anti-smoking zealots push for a ban on the sale and possession of tobacco?

well, let’ see...
the Arabs sneak more Arabs into Gaza
they sneak assault weapons into Gaza
they sneak missiles into Gaza
they sneak even more Arabs into Gaza
they sneak bombs into Gaza
they even sneak LIONS into Gaza (how do you do that? hide them in your jock strap?)
but.. they can’t find food in Gaza for a couple little cubs?
SOLUTION — move the Arabs and their lions back to Egypt.
problem solved (at least for the future, its a shame about the little kitty kats, we just love kitty kats!)

That’s how they do it. Little by little until there is no freedom left.

As much as I loath, despise, abhor, and abominate Whoopie Goldberg, she was told she could not smoke in her million dollar condo in NYC.
She tried to fight “them” and LOST.
So she had to quit smoking.
She was SO ANGRY about it. I thought it was FUNNY! :-)
