Now back to the subject.
What I have failed to mention is what I do believe in. I believe in the power of the people. If smoking is that big of a health issue then we the people need to take the steps to eliminate it all together or limit it's use...that i do agree with. Similar to alcohol. Believe it or not we still have some counties in Mississippi that do not allow the sale of liquor. It was done by the people not the government. But telling Government to fix it, looses us our freedom.
The only problem with that is "eliminating" things doesnt eliminate them. It just makes them illegal. Which creates black markets.

The best thing that 'could' be logical would make it illegal to smoke in public if people think its that much of a hazard to their health. And smokers would have to smoke in their homes, or other places like how there are cigar clubs.

There is no way your going to get every person in the country to stop smoking, even if it was illegal.
