Anti-smoking laws are not about smoking. The intent of all smoking/tobacco laws is to get someone elected, or someone reelected to a local or state political office. Nothing more. Those who don't smoke vote more than those who smoke.

Of COURSE. You figure that there are 23-30% that smoke in each state. Of course, if the smoking ban goes to a vote, we are ALWAYS outnumbered. The anti's have the general non-smoking public brain washed. The non-smoking public have NO idea what this is doing to the economy.

Smokers across the U.S. STILL outnumber the AARP AND the NRA!

Yes! All about politics, you can bet on it. And if it's so damn bad for us, why are they restricting and controlling smokers instead of just banning the stuff! Makes you wonder, doesn't it?!
