The ban on smoking in public is us taking back personal freedoms. It means we are no longer victims of smokers forcing their habit upon us.

But I imagine that is another thread entirely - one we have discussed a few times here.
I agree with that. I think Kestra just glossed over my point that individual states (ie. the people) should be regulating and deciding what is in their best health, wealfare, and safety rather than the federal government deciding what everyone will be doing based on the influence of a small group.
