You are comparing cannabalism with smoking? I think there is too much carbon monoxide in your brain

The point is that you seem to think if the masses want something at the expense (and I do mean expense) of the rest of society, then that is OK.

Does that mean if one sect of a religion outvotes everyone else, we all have to convert or die?

If the majority decide water does not run down hill, that waterfalls will be banned?

If they believe humans cause global warming, we will end up back in the stone age?

As the saying goes, "democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for dinner."

Thank God we have a Republic! (if we can keep it).

I quit smoking over a year ago, but that was my choice, not some forced action. (There isn't much ambient CO in eastern Montana.)

If people want to smoke, especially in their own home, let them!

This person has been doing this for years and suddenly it is a problem?

Like developments moving in next to everything from pig farms to shooting ranges and then complaining about the neighbors, I have no sympathy for the whining newbies.

Cannibalism and smoking? You’ve missed Joe’s point or choose to ignore it. If two out of three people support a socialist government in the U.S., what should the wiser, more intelligent citizens do? Just shut up and accept it?

The above link describes the significant difference between a democracy and a republic. The U.S. is a Republic.
