Actually, the biggest opponents of smoking bans are the people who value liberty.
Your Twinkies may be next.
We will also defend your right to Twinkies.
Well, as I’m sure you know, the anti-smoking lobby believes it’s their liberty (a right to clean air or some such) that they’re fighting for. That’s an appeal to tradition that you’re using by saying that they are people who value liberty. I assure you plenty of proponents of various anti-smoking policies do in fact value liberty.
I continue to believe that the biggest opponents of smoking bans are themselves smokers. Of course, most of the people who would oppose a Twinkie ban would likely be avid Twinkies eaters. All of them? No, of course not. Again, that’s a bad example, because I don’t think the majority of people would ever support such a nonsensical movement.
