Non smoking laws Dictatorship??

Aquattro, I believe there is a safe injection site in Vancouver where you can do exactly what you want! I am hoping you are just joking to make a point, though.

I am not so much against the anti smoking laws as against the government having anything to do with the removal of any personal freedoms.

What is next? If you smoke at home and you have children that smell it, you will be labelled a child abuser, have your children taken away, and be thrown in jail? I know this is an extreme example but the buck has to stop somewhere.

As to the litter associated with smoking, this is only going to get worse because people are smoking outside the bars and leaving butts everywhere.

And I am sick and tired of the pick-up lines and come-ons I have to face when I stop at my local grocery store after work because the parking lot is full of drunken morons from the bar. Being intoxicated in public is supposed to be illegal as well.

Um, yes. Although if someone smokes at home with kids in the house, I think someone or some agency should intervene. The choice of the parents to kill their children is probably not the choice the children themselves would make.
