You haven't really addressed the problem of the means. You're going to want smoking banned in people's homes, . . . You won't be content to leave it up to the individual States . . . . You're going to want the federal government to do it, . . . and you sure aren't going to be willing to wait for that.. . . but you're still going to want it done.

ACTUALLY,

NO, I won't.

It's not that raging a personal priority for me. I will likely continue to express outrage at the hypocrisy, selfishness, arrogance etc. of the smoker's position. I'll likely continue to grieve over the mangled lungs of the defenseless.

But the events of our era will very extremly out pace the priority of this issue. It will eventually be solved. And probably not in ways that you'd prefer or guess.

I can scarcely guess such details. I'm just convinced of the broad outline of that statement.

Would you be in favor of or opposed to tobacco being classified and regulated as a scheduled drug under DEA/FDA guidelines?

If it is a political solution, I have no doubt it will be at the expense of the Constitutional integrity of the Republic.
