Look...I don't smoke, but my point is sort of this.....
We have enough do's and don'ts in the country. I understand about second hand smoke...really I do. And, again, I accknowledge it is a filthy habit.
But if government wants to intervene, MAKE THE DAMN THINGS ILLEGAL!!!
Stop production of them, and end it!
But don't regulate the industry, tax the people who do use the product at an unusaully high rate, accept the money, AND THEN TELL THE USERS WHERE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LIGHT UP. It's not consistent, and it's not right.
