Speaking of houses, I tried on radio the other night to get state Public Health Commissioner Howard Koh to tell us when he'll demand that people be forbidden to smoke in their own homes. Dr. Koh went into what I guess is his standard riff about how devoted he is to protecting everybody's health (yada, yada, yada), but I heard no persuasive commitment to stay out of our domiciles.You know they're going to try for it sooner or later unless they are stopped HARD first.

Anyhow, it's a thin reed on which to hang the mayor's desired total ban.
I believe that thin or weak reeds are leaned upon, not used to hang things upon.

From the article:
Somebody might propose banning smoking in prisons, though jail is like Robert Frost's definition of home
I listen to the author's radio show and was surprised to read this as I thought he would be up to date on the policy on smoking in Mass Prisons. Smoking was banned in the Massachusetts prison system well over a year ago (it could be over 2 years, I can't quite remember, and by the way, there were no riots when the policy went into effect).

I agree. Legalize marijuana immediately.

I must share this story, because it goes to the heart of the nature of the anti-smoking nazis.
My wife works in a hospital, where smoking, of course, has long since been forbidden. She does not smoke, and never has.
Anyway, one of the girls in her office said, "Pat, could you not use that hand lotion anymore. The smell of it gives me a headache."
What the anti-smoking crusade has always been about is not health, but the assertion of a self-entitled pinhead that he is not to be inconvenienced by having to deal with his fellow man.
