Until this Utopia happens do we just allow the crack cocaine lobby to to shine a favorable light on their product, while the crackheads are beating your little sister or your mother up, to take her lunch money? Do they have a right to do anything they want to their own body, at the expense of their own mothers life? A crack addict is under the tyranny of a ruler much like the nicotene addict, though not quite as severe.
Oh lighten up. Like I said earlier, the real issue is power, and who gets to use it. I agree that certain things like beating up someone for their lunch money should be prohibited. But banning smoking in a restaraunt because you feel uncomfortable is completely unreasonable.

I remember when the proposition was passed here in California. It was all about the workers. But if it's really about the workers, why were places that employed fewer than 10 workers exempted? And why has that distinction gone away? And again, why not prohibit smoking in all places? The answer is it's really about power, and you used yours to force business owners out of their property rights. Just admit it...
