I hate the smell of tyranny much more than the smell of smoke

Smoking bans have been a part of our history. Even the states that founded the US had various bans.

The majority wants a smoke free environment and even though the minority is being protected, step by step the majority is getting its way. Majority rule is tyranny but at least its orderly.

Usurpation of rights has the longest of histories. Which of course, doesn't make it legitimate.

Now there is a ringing endorsement of tyranny. I guess some value "order" over freedom.

Dead people are very orderly.
