No, but regardless, engaging in civil disobedience is not the way to change laws. Even so, a person is free to engage in any civil disobedience they want to, so long as they then accept the consequences of their actions.

When it comes to a legislature that is hopelessly out of touch with the people it's supposed to represent, it's the only option left in an off-election year.
Besides, the smoking ban is stupid.
How about they legislate when you can drive? Makes about as much sense.

"...engaging in civil disobedience is not the way to change laws."So, the members of the 'Boston Tea Party' we're wrong? The citizens militia at Concorde should have just complained? This country was founded on 'civil disobedience'.
Civil disobedience is very much a part of several methods used to change laws. I highly encourage it.
