every time it is tried... prohibition fails.

abstinence works because it is the individual who CHOOSES to abstain. The freedom of the person remains in tact. But, prohibition fails because it attempts to restrict and punish the person to the point of eliminating their freedom to choose.

They use lies to kill our freedom "for our own good." Remember the outright LIES about second hand smoke "kills" and the heart-rending commercials about it killing people's dead spouses? LIES.

Smoking CAN cause cancer. It does not always do so. I HATE smoking. BUT I LOVE the idea that folks can do with their own lives and bodies what they CHOOSE to do... Government of all aspects of life that MAY or may NOT present a risk... is unacceptable. And folks who make these kind of suggestions are dangerous.. no matter HOW good their intentions seem to be.

I am really SICK to the max... of the nanny state addicted do gooders who ever lust to enforce their twisted morality or immorality, view of life and physiological philosophy using the point of a federal-statist gun.

Fools who want to screw with our freedoms are dangerous, be they talibunnies, radical right wing religionists, homosexual agenda pushers, or runaway tobacco hating surgeon general types... same goes for folks who insiste on passing and enforcing of seatbelt laws, helmet laws and the rights to keep and bear arms issues.... it's ALL for the freaking children right?

The freedomphobics... we need to send them all... to Iran...
EVERY time I read one of these nanny state articles on smoking... it makes me want to START smoking... just to p!ss them off.
