I’m a smoker that doesn’t drink.

I have no more interest is what they do to drinkers than most drinkers cared about the 2nd hand smoke hysteria.

That is,none.

Ban radios in cars. Ban unruly children. Ban talkative women. Ban animals. Ban riders. Ban anything that distracts. Then fine everyone...a lot. LIBs are such asshats. They are mentally ill.

Funny, most of the bar going drinkers, the sort who wore DAMM hats, were smokers, too, who were often amused when normally nonsmoking drinkers bummed cigarettes when they were in the bag. (No doubt blamed that on 'second hand smoke' when they got home.)

I don't drink nor smoke any more, yet I still retain an interest in the erosion of Liberty, no matter what guise it takes.

I have even been voted out of a job I wasn't elected nor appointed to by allegedly moral people and others with conflicting interests who didn't want to ban something, just limit it.

Consider C. S. Lewis:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
