I do smoke - but I would much prefer they outlaw it and stop the incrementalist crapola of confiscatory taxes and smoking bans.

For years I have been saying that smoking bans are the first step toward a return of prohibition. When you think of it, while the bans effect ALL businesses it is generally only bars that are very much targetted. also if you look at the funding in the push for lower BAC and tougher restrictions on places where people can drink (such as parks) you will find much of the funding coming from the same source as for the smoking bans.

I fear that smoking bans are a test to see what else can be banned.
