LEGAL is right. If the gooberment is so concerned let em' outlaw smoking. Talk about getting one's drawers in a wad, all those grand-standing politicians would totally freak out! Hub and I smoke, we know full well it's not good for us but by the same token it's our business and we pay dearly for our health insurance and pay dearly in taxes for this habit......as well as higher homeowners insurance, car insurance. What would the gooberment do without us? :(

Yep, let them outlaw smoking and outlaw tobacco. Yet they continue to subsididize tobacco growers.

The local governments continue to rely on tobacco taxes to fund special projects that otherwise would not get built or would strain other tax revenue sources.

Then they ban smoking in and around the same structures that those taxes paid for.
