Good. A nasty habit whose adherents barely deserve legitimacy. Nice thing about a totalitarian system is that something like this can be rather effective. Like when Iran and NorthKorea banned smoking in the past couple of years. Instant acceptance of the new rules. And nice, that, we could have a rabid nonsmoking mullah meet an Iranian mullah on common ground. Say in NYC.
America has made a lot of headway in demonizing smoking; there are still some holdout states, some partial bans in bars in some places, but if we start taking a page out of the Chinese method, we could get rid of those too.
We are almost on par with the Chinese; we’ve got regulation concerning tobacco use in private domiciles; rented mainly for now, but shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to get the law to apply to property owned by a smoker.
mmnnnn....you forgot your sarcasm tag. You were being sarcastic...right? It’s getting hard to tell on FR anymore where smokers are concerned.
Oh wait, isn't that what the democRats are doing already?
