Health Nazis are just that...

Was the person convicted? Was their smoke stinking up the public areas of the apartment?
Not those who favor a smoking ban are "health nazis". Not all smokers are "smoke nazis". Though it's amazing how quickly talk of a smoking ban turns the average smoker into a libertarian.

I think i hear the smallest violin playing for the oppressed minority that is the american smoker. I hope you don't mind, but you have to share the song with the drip coffee drinkers who have to wait in line behind the latte drinkers for their morning coffee.
Irony.

How about make SUV's cost 4x as much because they are hard for me to see over and pose risks to MY driving safety (think of all the extra tax money!). Don't I have the right to see over SUVs while driving on public roads (that is in the constitution, right?). If they want to drive those, they should do it on PRIVATE roads.
Sounds good to me
Plus, they burn way too much gas and are polluting the air. Air I breathe. If you want to drive your SUV, do it without spewing toxic chemicals into MY atmosphere. They are PUBLIC roads right? What right do these damn SUV drivers have to pollute my atmosphere. Besides, they are way more likely to flip over than any other vehicle. Do these people have a death wish? Lets ban SUV's for their safety and our own.

Sounds good to me, too.

How people can claim they have the right to go to a bar and legislate that it be smokefree is astounding to me. I thought we had a constitution in this country.

Welcome to america. Unfortunately, the "rights" of smokers didn't seem to be a priority to anyone while the constitution was being written.
