Is it coming to this ?
Man made booze is legal but tobacco in your own home is PROHIBITED ?
What Freedoms will lobbyists decide you dont need next ? Food,Water,Housing,Clothing,Your Car, Your LIFE ?
See they keep the booze legal so you can go out and get stupid drunk get arrested and get thrown in jail that way through your own drunken stupidity you allow them to rape your pocket book for rehab and dwi charges and other charges laid by your drunkeness.
Oh well it's your Freedoms .....Right ?
They won't go any further ....Right ?
This tobacco issue is just one of many steps special interest has in store for a free nation and they have been working on it for a long long time while we sit back as a free peopl and just watch it fester into a fascist law.!!!!
This is just prohibition with the luxury of NOT having the Constitution to protect you from the Tyranny of your Employer and Special Interest Groups.
Thanks for posting.
Let me see if I have this right. The rate of smokers has been cut in at least half, the exposure to SHS is nearly eliminated, and the health care costs have skyrocketed. I guess we better start allowing people to smoke everywhere so the costs of healthcare can be greatly reduced!
