Rabid? No.
Informed? Yes.
Which seems to be more than you.

Rabid about smoking bans? Yes! Smoking bans are not about smoking or not smoking. Smoking bans are about government control of private property.

Would I want my children to smoke? It's their choice. I've told them that I enjoy smoking, that I wouldn't smoke if I didn't enjoy it.
I've also told them that not everyone enjoys smoking and not everyone enjoys anyone smoking.
I've also told them about private property rights and socialistic governments.

As you say Joe, as you say.

I've also told them about private property rights and socialistic governments. Oh, yeah. My littlest grandson had a chance to meet the candidates for governor here last weekend. He said "I don't have to shake hands with Gray Davis, do I?" Get 'em early, I say. Hehehe.

Smoking bans are about government control of private property.

Actually it isn't that at all.
It is more accurately small people, in every sense of the word, hijacking the power of government to control the lives of others, based on clearly fraudulent "statistics", to wit:

The other day a truck driver strung out on speed crossed the median and hit a 95 year old man going the opposite direction in a Yugo head on. The Yugo burst into flames and the driver had to be identified by dental records. The foil from a pack of Marlboros was found inside the burned out car. Cause of death: smoking.

Clearly, dishonesty and neuroses masquerading as compassion.
