You've got that right.None of the compromises worked. They want us to buy them,pay the taxes on them,but not smoke them,

I was sitting in my own car having a cigarette when a young man about 15 years old starting laughing and making fun of me for smoking. I am probably his grandmother's age.

I got out of my car and confronted him----his mother then came along and I told her she had a very rude,ill mannered son. To her credit she just walked away towards their car.The younger brother(about 10)thought my tirade about his older brother was quite humorous.

They get indoctrinated in school and often by their parents. It also reflects the breakdown of civility, respect and courtesy in this society. From recent developments, I predict pointing and laughing at people eating "unhealthy" food will be socially acceptable and encouraged.

I'm glad you are ok. That could have turned ugly.
