Yes, your arguments vis-a-vis tobacco smoking and freedom are reminiscent of the things we've been arguing vis-a-vis marijuana smoking and freedom for years now. Welcome to the club.

Yes! But tobacco has always been a legal commodity.

So was cannabis up until 1937. Your point?

Not true - it was illegal in many states in the late 19th and early 20th century, even up to the years of prohibition.
