Why the wait ? Each year that goes by the worse it is for smokers to turn around the momentum. Could you imagine a rally of smokers fighting for their const rights ? There would be about six that would actually show. And I can only imagine the way the reporters would taunt them.
Face it there isn't going to be some white knight that is going to come riding in. The current state of affairs is more like the smokers as the black knight in Monty Python. Its over. The dye is cast. The majority want smoking banned everywhere and its just a matter of time. There is no "right" that is going to save the day.
And given the way this country is going, they'll get it. When they do, will they finally be happy? Will their crusade be over? Oh, not by a longshot. They'll have someone else in their social engineering sites very soon. Once they've ruined someone else's life's joy, or livelihood, or rights they'll move on to another. And another....
One day, and take my word, it won't be long, they're going to rain on your parade.
Why, how imperial of you to so declare.
I'm patient, it will happen.
And I can only imagine the way the reporters would taunt them.
In your frightened little world, this would probably be enough for you to fold; but reporters don't run my life.
