Well, well; the chickens are coming home to roost. All progressive democrat (communists) are alike. This is the result of liberalism; first they destroyed the public schools and universities and brainwashed America's youth, now they move on to controlling the adults and worker's of America.

There is, in my honest opinion, something growing in the underbelly of America that is going to suck all of us American's under.

Rep. Roger Landry said that after his decade-long battle against cancer, he puts health concerns over personal freedoms cited by the bill's opponents.

My father died in mid-April after lung cancer came back. He could not kick the habit. In the Summer of 1998 he had ~40% of each lung removed after they found lung cancer. He started smoking again in about 12 months.

I miss him, but it was ultimately his choice. His death deprived his family of their father, but that does not give persons so affected any more of a moral high ground to ban smoking. I don't smoke, consider it mostly un-healthy, but I'll support and respect people's right to light up. It's their choice.
