And all the figures about second hand smoke killing? I dont buy it. For one second. Use some common sense and some real world experience and think about what they are claiming. How many of you have a family member or know someone who has died from lung cancer caused by smoking. Most of you here I'm sure. How many of you know someone who has cancer caused by second hand smoke? No one? Ask all your friends if they know someone whos died from second hand smoke. Thought so.
As several people have pointed out.. government should be the last resort in this struggle. Uncle Sam is not a baby sitter and shouldnt be treated like one. If the anti-smoking lobby spent their time talking to business's instead of pushing fascist legislation, we might see the same trend we are seeing today. More non smoking establishments. And no ones freedom is stepped on in the process.
The fact is the anti-smoking lobby has become just as underhanded, treacherous and venomous as the big tobacco lobby. But of course.. their end justifies their means..
