Fascism is how I feel about it.  I don't smoke tobacco at all, but the government telling people what they do with their property defines fascism.  I don't care if you're not aloud to smoke somewhere, but it's whoever owns it's right to make that decision, not the US government.  People have the right to do what they want with their land, and if you don't like it you have the right not to go there.  These are all the kinds of small steps that will add up to complete and absolute totalitarianism over the next twenty or so years.  No guns, no drugs, no smoking, then no unhealthy food, then no decisions that don't better the american government.

Well I have broken the draw

NJ has had a smoking ban on pretty much any place inside for years now.
On one hand I understand the smokers point, BUT I approve of it. Their smoke CAN be quite intrusive.
And while the debate is on about how bad second hand smoke is..it is deff NOT good for you.

"THE SMOKERS

HE LIT the cigarette and smoked it down
to the filter in one breath.  He silently thanked
the Winston Company for being thoughtful
enough about his health to include a filter to
protect him.  So he lit up another.  This time
he didn't exhale the squeaky-clean filtered
smoke, but just let it nestle in his lungs,
filling his body with that good menthol
flavor.  Some more smokers knocked on his
door and came in and all started
smoking along with him.

"How wonderful it is that we're all
smoking," he thought.

Everyone smoked and smoked and
after they smoked they all talked about
smoking and how nice it was that they were
all smokers and then they smoked some
more.

Smoke, smoke, smoke.  They all sang
"Smoke That Cigarette" and "Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes."  Then the smokers smoked
one more cigarette and left him home alone in his
easy chair, about to enjoy a nice
quiet smoke.  And then his lips fell off."

Even though I quit smoking a number of years ago, I disagree with the ban of smoking in bars. This ban should be limited to restaurants.
