Thread: Anti Smoking Laws

I do not smoke. I didn't vote either.
You are talking about "We". What Country are you talking about? Every country has it's own regulations about smoking. I'm assuming the USA, but I don't know it's regulations so my vote will stay null.

We as a social entity.

You are from the Netherlands right? Now, guess my country

It does not matter which country. They all copy on one another with less or more zeal. Gradually though, the law gets updated or is added to or cities add bylaws (A bylaw cannot circumvent a federal law). so in the end, it all becomes unilateral. And that is the problem. Gradual loss of freedom. My way or the high way. You agree with it until it affects you. You don't mind until there is no where to run.

CANADA. OH SNAP. If you say "Guess my country", be sure not to have it in Location.
Anyways, countries here in Europe tend to vary with smoking laws

But yeah, I do agree with you to some extent. Freedom is gradually decreased, which of course sucks, but in this case I do not mind. Also, smoking is scientifically proven to be bad for your health and the people around you that do not smoke; they still "smoke" (again, to some extent) while you smoke. I do somewhat agree with not being able to smoke in restaurants and that kind of stuff. Then again, it is a form of freedom loss. What can I say? This law has not affected me, and is only in my advantage, but I'm sure in the future there will be laws that will prevent me from doing my thing (to some extent. God, I love saying that )

That really sums up the point of this thread.
