0.08 BAC headed down to 0.03 BAC (on it’s way down to Sweden’s 0.01 BAC) federally imposed (via highway gas tax monies) sailed by without dope smokers giving a damn.

Demonizing alcohol does nothing to make society more perfect for smokers (same with the lack of concern as tobacco use was restricted and grounds for employment termination).

“impaired” accidents are not occurring at the low BAC levels either (and it was never the goal of the founder of MADD).

“active” intoxication is not the standard. A driver can still be charged with DWI below the BAC standard, it’s just more difficult to convict. Blowing over the number becomes its own procedural crime.

I'm opposed - but then, I'm not a dope smoker but just a defender of dope smokers' liberty.

I've never demonized alcohol - I have pointed out that many anti-dope arguments apply as well or better to alcohol.

Requiring restaurant, bar, and club owners to ban smoking was and remains immoral.

and grounds for employment termination).

I think employers should be free to hire and fire for any reason they deem fit. I haven't heard that anyone has been fired for smoking tobacco.
