The problem is that the thought/action/don't-even-think-it police are out of control. In NYC a shop owner does not have the right to allow smoking, even if it's a tavern. B.D.'s statement that if we allow one drug (smoking) we must allow all drugs is not well thought out. I wonder why he did not use alcohol as his example (hiccup!). Certainly alcohol kills more innocent people than smoking. I like smokers. These flawed human beings are a breath of fresh air :) in relation to the self-indulgent, imposing jackasses who are always busy getting other people to do something they don't want to do, or to not do something they want to do.
