I absolutely agree with you. It was years ago that Rush warned us about the coming campaign against SUVs, and he was proved correct. The same thing is true of smoking. You've heard that there are increasing attempts to legislate what we eat, because the government knows better than we do about what we should consume and how we should live. They're talking about regulating what's in vending machines in high schools.
No, I don't like coming home from an evening out with my clothes reeking of cigarette smoke. But that's a nuisance, as you say. I'm willing to put up with a certain level of nuisance if it keeps the government from interfering in our lives. I don't entirely buy the argument that restaurants in upscale Howard County, Maryland, are going to go out of business because people can't smoke there, but I think government should stay out of it. They should stay out of everything except, maybe, building aircraft carriers and missile systems, the stuff that private citizens can't do for themselves. Everything else is none of their business.
