Re: Thoughts on Smoking & Illegal Narcotics
This should be obvious.
"Those who would sacrifice essential liberties for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
You can substitute the word comfort for safety if you like.
Its incumbent on all of us to get along together. There's no need to limit freedoms. If you want to smoke its incumbent on me to respect that. If you don't want me to smoke in your home or business or face, its incumbent on me to respect THAT.
Given the health risk associated with smoking, and worse yet second hand smoke, there's no problem with locations where smoking is restricted, but anti-smoking laws are just another form of legislated morality like anti-gambling laws, etc.
You can guess where I stand on "illegal narcotics".
