[HELLRAISER II]

You or the Govt. don't have the right to tell us what to do or how to live our life, are you going to go tell all fat people that they have to go on a 1000 calorie a day diet & join the gym.
Are you going to tell somebody that has a sex addiction how many people they can sleep with in a week. Are you going to limit how many beers somebody can drink in a week, how are going to establish what vices your going to address.
The only fair thing is to let people do what they want & establish smoking & non-smoking areas or non-smoking areas only in hospitals or places where people may have a real necessity for no smoking.

[reflecting]

none of your examples are applicable....I am not advocating the government stop anyone from doing harmful things to themselves....I assert that government does have a role in stopping you from doing harmful things to me...your beer example ---- you can drink all you want but the government has the right to say you can only drink so much before you drive because you are a danger to others...
