This is my last comment on this subject. In America I see a free people who have forgotten how to be free. Freedom isn't easy. It requires personal responsibility to make good choices, and to live with the consequences of those choices. It requires that we recognize the rights of others to make choices. We must also be willing to expect them to live with the choices they made. It is much easier in the short run to let the government solve all the ills of the world. Then all I have to do is live with in the rules and follow the directions. Then I have no responsibility. I see an America who is fast looking to the government to take care of us. I see an America that too quickly and easily relies on Uncle Sam to fix things because after all what can I do. That saddens me because the independent "I can do it myself" attitude is what made this country what it is today. This smoking issue is just a minuscule part of what i have just said. I hope I have given all food for thought.
Thanks for listening...
