Take 25 steps back, you huddled masses yearning to smoke free.

The "crowd in the cloud" seen outside the entrances of many office buildings around Houston will have to walk just a bit farther before lighting up if Houston City Council passes a proposed amendment to the city's smoking ordinance.

A council committee recommended changing the ordinance Tuesday to require smokers to remain at least 25 feet away from building entrances and exits.

You beat me to the punch! After the infamous mass arrests in Houston, you had better believe that a totalitarian state is not impossible in America anymore, if muffled bleating is the only reaction from the sheep. Where is real outrage? "Comrade, come with us!"
