I am under the impression that this has the support of the people. Am I wrong?
If the legislature is merely enacting the will of the people ... I guess I don't understand your comment. What you're calling "nanny-statism" I simply call self-rule.

The "will of the people" [majority rule] that ignores our Constitution is called democratic tyranny.

"I am under the impression that this has the support of the people. Am I wrong?"
In fact, you are. From what I can tell, it has the support of one legislator.
Why not put it on the ballot and find out? Just because something put into a bill does not necessarily mean that it has the support of the people. It may have support of some people, just like ultra-radical evironmental wacko bills have support of the ultra-radical evironmental wackos, the handle that they are, but not the support of the people as a majority.
