Smoking Bans Were Never About Second Hand Smoke
« Bradley Effect in 2008? | Main | Tape-Gate »
On November 20th, the facility owned by Central Baptist, UK HealthCare or the Saint Joseph Health System in Lexington will implement a campus wide ban on smoking. One that includes areas that are outdoors. It appears that the nanny state is going to extend smoking bans to include outdoor areas because it is "good for you".
Originally, the proposed bans on smoking were due to the ill effects of second hand smoke. I thought at the time that was a bit of a canard. People didn't have to go to or work in places that allowed smoking. I warned that it was nothing less than a group of elitists wanting to make people stop smoking because they knew what was best for the people. It appears that their initial round of success has led them to push for even more restrictions. I suspect they will continue to push until it is illegal to smoke anywhere.
It is interesting and a bit sad to see Americans sit back and watch with apathy as their freedom dwindles away.

Part and parcell with the new world order... simply wake up and effect change... it's not really that hard... just understand... "Answer to no man... answer only to God"... I think the constitution indicates something of that nature.
Ethics will necessarily become the new trading standard... the bullys and ner-do-wells will be given the back seat.
Chicken Little will resume her proper place again in childrens nurserie ryhms and we will all breath a sigh of relief... free to do that with or without tobacco
