Article talks about smoking ban but its an easy example of government overreach

quote:

Most of us don't like cigarettes and therefore we don't care too much about smoking bans.  But these bans take away our freedom.  


quote:

Our Rights are endowed from our Creator only to be taken away by our government


quote:

Now virtually everything including stadiums, beaches, an other outdoor venues are included.  Large and small cities from Chicago to Oshkosh are have or are trying to institute total bans the likes of New York City or worse.  People are now even being banned from smoking in their own homes.

Smoking is trashy, but it shouldn't be illegal.

Looks like an extremely reputable website. The guy that runs it must have taken time away from creating his MySpace page to build it.

I don't, and yet the website you linked is still way below my standards. That should tell you something.

You have the freedom to smoke, but I don’t have the freedom to breathe clean air?

This is such nonsense and ignorance. Our Creator has endowed us with 3 rights. None are found in the Constitution.

It all started when they banned murder. It was a slippery slope.

Smoking should be legal, but it should be taxed even more. Make it $20 for a pack.

Nothing good at all comes from smoking.

I smoked for a good 10-15 years, I am amazed people still do it today at all.
