New England in the 17th century banning smoking? The same folks who hung, burned and crushed "witches"? Folks who, by the way, were British, not American and Puritans too boot?
How long did those laws last? Historically no smoking ban has lasted over time. Why not jump up 100 years and check out smoking in Ben Franklin's Boston?
You folks raise the issue of the good old days when our ancestors didn't have nasty regulations on smoking. You folks are living in a fantasy world.
