“That certainly IS tyranny and you WILL reap the rewards of supporting it as the homofascists use these tools to attack churches.”

Whoa....homofacists? it’s you smokers that have an oral fixation, not me! (/teasing)

Look, just because there is a rule against it doesn’t equate to tyranny. If you feel that strongly you should light up anyway, and make them kick you out - or make the non-smoking customers run you out.

There is no punishment otherwise. How is that tyranny?

Allow me to violate Godwin's Law:
Were the Nuremburg Laws any kind of tyranny? I mean, they were just rules, right? If the Jews didn't like the rules they could just go about their business I suppose.

Here's a Hint: Totalitarian Regimes makes rules because they want to control people. It's Tyranny. Government is supposed to exist to protect people from Coercion. When government BECOMES the coercion, it's tyranny.

It's not about cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, or national parks. It's about the role of government to decide what you can and cannot do on a daily basis.

And if you think "if I feel strongly, then I'll just ignore their rules" is a valid response, I just don't know what to say.
