Actually, that's the next thing - the healthnazis ARE going after people's rights to smoke in their own homes. There are condominium associations and apartment buildings that don't allow smoking, so even the rights a person should enjoy in his or her own domicile are now coming under attack from these fanatic pricks. How long until that becomes law?
As for my changing vicinity, there are places where smokers congregate. If all of them are smoking, who are you to tell them they can't smoke? Again, where does that power come from?
I'm not advocating the right of somebody to blow smoke in your kid's face. I'm advocating REASON and COMPROMISE. Hell, I don't even fucking smoke anymore. But there are worse things than breathing in a wisp of smoke - like watching our country morph into a police state.
