Not just about tobacco...

If it wasn't so sad, it would be amusing to hear all the scoffers when you try and explain that smoking bans and tobacco taxes are not about concerns for the welfare of fellow citizens - IT IS ABOUT CONTROL. 
  
Shocking Audio: Rep. Dingell Says ObamaCare Will Eventually ‘Control the People’

It is so very annoying when you encounter so-called conservative republicans that support smoking bans and higher taxes on tobacco.  That is why I could never support Hucakabee.

Huckabee on a Smoking Ban

Listen to the way he gets all self-righteous about second-hand smoke. As far as I know, most work places don't allow smoking, with or without an imposed smoking ban - as for second-hand smoke - what a girly man. A passing whiff of someone's cigarette in public would have a hard time competing with the other pollutants in the air to harm you. Like global warming, the science of second hand smoke is as tainted with politics and grant money.  If he is scared about second-hand smoke, he wouldn't stop banning smoking in just work places.  He claims to not want to include bars, but those places have been included as work places.  Don't get me wrong, I am a polite individual and would never be rude enough to smoke a cigar or pipe in someone's presence that didn't want me to.  Most smokers would do the same.

I need coffee - end of rant.
