It's not the same, and that's why we see more regulation of smoking.

yeah... like here in WA where they banned smoking in bars recently. Bars are going under all over.

The best sign was on the outside of a struggling bar somewhere north of Seattle: "Nonsmokers: Where ARE you?"

It's not about people that didn't want to be around smoke. They aren't going to such places even now that they're nonsmoking. It's merely about controlling the habits of others of which they smugly disapprove. It's about control.

Ahhh. That's the operative word in your world: REGULATION. I drive a very powerful car that has no windows or heat. I'm guessing that you'd say there should be regulations against my car?

Bet you like gun regulations and registrations as well, eh?

REGULATE this:
