This is happening all over the country at every possible venue. Our College campus has banned smoking effective Sept 1st. This is huge campus, so one wonders how they enforce it, but it matters not.....in the long run.

I suspect this smoking issue is really a metaphor to represent the successful encroachment of government into every person's life from cradle to grave.

I quit smoking earlier this year......4 months now.....as a result of the confiscatory taxes enacted by the fed and the state at the same time. I swore that I was not going to participate and after 44 years of smoking and many attempts to quit, I think I finally beat the monster.....but it's still a "one day at a time battle"....

Today I am having to watch a media celebration of a leftist traitor's life, so smoking is the least of my irritations, but the government has used the issue to gain a great deal of power, and they won't be giving it up without a fight.

To be fair it isn’t the left who is pushing the smoking ban across this country. There are some on the right who are doing the same thing..

“I quit smoking earlier this year......4 months now”

...atta boy!...I got the Camel off my back 5 years ago...it was quite a struggle because I was a two pack a day man since 1962...it’s a shame they’re so bad for my health because I really liked ‘em.

I did the same in March and I don’t miss it one bit! All the more money in my pocket and now I’m not subsidizing the insurance costs for others.
