This doesn't touch the laws created by the cities themselves to outlaw smoking.
Within the next five years, there won't be a major city in Texas which allows smoking in any public place, whether it be outside or inside, and I predict laws will be created to outlaw smoking in your automobile.
It will be the same as the seat belt laws. If a LEO sees anyone smoking in their car, it will be an automatic ticket for air pollution.Oh well. What the hell....................
I see no end in sight.
I can see an end in site for the states to not receiving the big bucks from the Tobacco Settlement money which is being paid for by the smokers though. Wonder what the states will do THEN?
Well, I don't know about the rest of the States, but Texas is already preparing for that.
The public is getting psychologically prepared for a state income tax, which we have never had.
Socialism marches on.....
