I don't see what's so wrong with banning smoking in public places. We ban public drunkenness, don't we? Anyway, cigarettes are a gateway drug that lead to marijuana abuse and eventually to consumption and sale to children of kilos of freebase crack cocaine.

I'm rolling on the floor laughing about that. You can't possibly be that naive to believe what you wrote....or can you?

You have totally fallen for the lib speak of "public places" and have accepted their re-defining the word public.

Please tell me I'm totally wrong and you just forgot the sarcasm tag........

"I don't see what's so wrong with banning smoking in public places. We ban public drunkenness..."

Smoking is not drunkenness. Smoking bans inside public or private buildings do not require legislation. Businesses ban smoking now without legislative action. I do not need legislative action to ban smoking in my home. Smoking outdoors in public parks should not be banned.

Littering the parks with cigarette butts likely is already against the law, and should be enforced if so, but it should not be the perogative of government to legislate bans on an otherwise legal activity in public, outdoor areas such as parks. This is pure leftist stupidity and another of their control tactics.
