So, realbinky, your point is that since others don't do what you think is best for them, government should step in and force them to do as you feel is correct? Presumably that means you believe you have some security interest in them that their self-destructive habits are compromising? To some extent, you have the right to control them? That to that extent you own them?

As for common sense and passive smoke, are you going to actually read what the science says, or just believe the propaganda?

The point is that you are being manipulated in what you hear, and have been sold on the idea that democracy should trump rights and freedom. You do realize this is identical in kind, though not extent, to what happened in the '30s in Germany, don't you?
