Here's a better idea than strutting around telling people what perfectly legal activities they can do inside their own homes or hangouts:

Smoking Bans Are Dangerous to a Free Society's Health

From the article:

The City Council and General Assembly can nurture that choice by requiring all bars and restaurants to determine their own smoking policies. Smoking-allowed establishments can then choose whether to be all-smoking or to have separate smoking and nonsmoking sections. To help consumers identify which establishments cater to their preferences, bars and restaurants could be required to post their smoking policies at their entrances, and they could be penalized for violating them.

A law like that would allow smokers and nonsmokers to enjoy the environments they choose. If most customers prefer a nonsmoking environment, many bars and restaurants will follow the money and prohibit smoking. But other establishments will cater to smokers and allow tobacco use.

Now go peddle your "polls" elsewhere, please.

The fact that the smoking jihadis won't allow even a small percentage of license holders the choice of catering to the smokers means it's about so much more than tobacco. A lot of Freepers don't realize what's next on the menu. Or not, as it were...

I'm glad to see so many people repulsed by former fatty Hucklebuck's heavy handed authoritarianism.
