Its all BS, and designed to do one thing and one thing only. Keeping smokers from smoking because the nanny state doesn't like it. Thats all any of these laws are about.

If it were about health tobacco would have been banned years ago. Its not about anyones health anymore.. its a move toward prohibition and control.

I'm afraid you're absolutely correct.

And what are we going to do about it?

It has nothing to do with health, but about the government's ability to control every aspect of your private life.

I have drawn my line in the sand.

YOU CAN NOT CROSS THIS!

The conundrum for gov't is they want the tax revenue so they can't prohibit and have a real problem claiming the moral high ground. Prohibit, show some principle, at your peril.

And taxes, and fines, and class action lawsuits...
