This is not a state-wide smoking ban. It is a state-wide smoking ban for public indoor places such as resturants, bars and a few other venues.

How come the pollsters never cut to the chase?
That is, ask the BIG question:
“How many people are in favor of banning the sale, possession and use of tobacco products entirely?”
Only by asking the BIG question do you start to ask the real questions.

Well, I was close but no cigar (no pun intended, this is serious business you know...). I suggested banning autos, swimming pools, etc. outright but I forgot to add cigarettes, darn it! Do I get 1/2 credit?

convince people that smoking is not bad for your health
I don't think the lies about second-hand smoke are the primary reason for the bans. If health were really a concern homosexuals would be banned from promiscuous sex from sea to shining sea.
Propaganda campaigns are about bigotry and prejudice, not logic or "health".
Every society needs its witches and eh um ah racial epithets or their equivalent. Smokers are just the new damned ones.

Youre a spammer buddy.
We all take risks every day.
Life is inherently dangerous, no one gets out alive.
Some of us prefer to enjoy our allotted time and not spend it whining and complaining and messing with others rights to be free

Oh so now you’re spreading spam from the little Nazi fagots a truth.com? You are a nanny-stater and a fascist. I’m glad you outed yourself as such for everybody to see.

Thank God we're still a Republic where the property rights of even the mangiest Citizen are protected. Rights that allow him to choose to consume any legal product on his own property -- or allow him to choose
not to consume any legal product on his own property, and allow him to invite like-minded folks over to help him enjoy his rights.
Oh, wait! Businesses are not private property, are they? Or are they?

Lies, damned lies, and statistics. You can get a survey to conclude anything you want, if the wording is tailored accordingly.
To: brushcop
I really like the idea of asking the BIG question. It would hold a lot of people’s feet to the fire. Some of the anti-smoking crowd, like the AMA, would *have* to say “yes”, while others would be aghast.
It would swat the hornets nest. But you have to wonder what would happen.

Opened this thinking I was going to see another attempt at something like prohibition only to find out the title is misleading to say the least..... Major difference between a statewide smoking ban and a ban statewide in selected establishments/places.....

Why the hell does the state get to say whether or not a product is legal?
G.K. Chesterton got it right when he said:
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man more than a dog.
