Have not even bothered to read this ridiculous nazi-like edict.

"We" (smokers) have been warning all for years now, that the smoking-nazis will NOT be satisfied until they usurp all of our rights--even in our own homes.

Can see it now: Much as the 88 year old woman who had her door kicked in, shot at the idiot LEA and was killed in the process, it will not be long before a busy-body neighbor drops a dime on one of their neighbors who are smoking and on that anonymous "tip" the jackboots will execute a "no-knock" warrant (got to preserve the evidence, don't you know, and can't give a person a chance to destroy the evidence)and arrest a parent who is smoking if there are "chillens" on premises.

CAN'T ANYONE SEE THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SMOKING, AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH "POWER AND CONTROL???"

Go ahead and laugh. Today its prohibiting a person from smoking in their home; tomorrow it will be someone arrested for providing one of their children with a Big Mac, Large Fries and Super Size Coke or anything which has Trans Fatty Acids.

Nanny state run amok. Let's build more prisons.

In the mean time, "Beam Me Up Scotty!!!"

Oh, well said! Very, very, very well said!

I'd be in an agitated and depressed condition about this kind of thing but I comfort myself with the thought that the Southwest corner of the country, where I live, will be part of Greater Mexico within a hundred years. Mexico (and Mexicans) care not for Gringo laws and aren't long on Nanny State regulations. Viva Aztlan!

This is only the beginning my friend. Soon smokers will have to provide proof they don't have kids in the home in order to purchase tobacco. It's just a matter of time. At 55 I have to provide ID to purchase beer. No ID, no beer. No kidding.

There is literally nothing these fascist pinko communists will stop at. We sat back and allowed them to burst into our homes with no knock raids allowing them to kill ourselves, our kids, our parents,our grandparents, and our pets looking for illicit drugs or guns.

Now they are coming for the smokers. What was everyone thinking? They would be immune because they didn't use illicit drugs or have "illegal" guns?

Next the evidence will be that alcohol abuse is hereditary.
Or is it already? Then they'll be bursting down the door in the middle of the night looking for some home brew because beer will be illegal. Don't laugh and don't believe it impossible. With the fascist pinko narco communists in charge now, nothing is impossible. They are smelling the kill and getting bolder by the day.

Yea, I know I am gambling since I am waging they will go for the alcohol before the fat in the big mac. That's because I remain confident they want a replay on alcohol prohibition.

I couldn't have said it better! I believe that things are so out of control..that smokers are an easy target. It makes people think that things are getting done. Things are in control, don't worry. No problem. Is smoking healthy..of course not. But neither is over eating, not exercising,over spending, not paying attention to your kids and a lot of other things.

Legislation cannot create common sense.
