The anti-smokers keep trying to turn it into a debate about smoking. That's where their strength is. From a health and hygiene standpoint, smoking's mighty hard to defend. Addiction's mighty hard to deny.
We have to deal with the social atmosphere in which we now find ourselves. And right now, privacy for people doing unwholesome things is practically exclusive to homosexuals and patrons of abortion clinics.

Property rights and individual rights is strength. Rational and honest principle is strength -- an asset. Irrational and dishonest principle is weakness - a liability.
