With seeping government intrusion into every facet of our lives, sometimes I wonder what American soldiers are fighting forAccording to this article, even Veteran's groups can't get together and smoke in private clubs.
This whole thing is beyond bizarre. Shouldn't it be enough that restaurant owners set the smoking rules in their establishment, and people who don't like it can work or spend their money elsewhere?

This is what bothers me the most. What kind of bureaucrat would advocate going up to somebody who's risked his life for his country and order him to stop smoking?
How much will enforcement of this stupid law cost? Will police be conducting raids on bars and clubs and assessing fines to individual smokers, or to the owner?
Why do people tolerate this? Are people such helpless fools that they can't understand the concept of finding another job if you don't like where you work, or finding another place to drink if you don't like smoke?
It just astonishes me. The gall of the politicians, and the gullibility of their employers (you and I and every other taxpayer.)
