"...because, as we all know, second-hand smoke is another issue the government needs to get involved in. Right, statist(s)?"

It's like most laws. Someone abuses it and in the process infringes on other people's rights. In this case, the right to smoke free air.

And then we need a law. Y'all brought it on yourself.

It's funny how the very people that cause government to grow, often blame the other people for the new laws.

Does everybody have a right to hydrocarbon-free air? After all, cars emit that. What about people who only walk?

And then we need a law.

Spoken like a true statist.

Um, I'm not a smoker, although I did enjoy some Newport Pleasure today just on general anti-statist principle, as a sign of solidarity with those who do smoke cigarettes regularly.

The anti-smoking crowd can add their names to the long list of intolerant authoritarians, both on the left and right, who ensure that America has the least possible amount of individual Freedom.

Most anti-smoking zealots I know are nanny-state Democrats.
