Up in smoke Options

We already have a smoking ban in public places. We also have legislation in the works that would ban smoking in private residences that adjoin other buildings (practically every home in San Francisco). Now corner stores might soon be banned from just selling cigarettes. Behold what happens when you give up your right to choose to Big Brother -- a little here, a little there, and before you know it, there's no freedom left.

Your analogy is off by a mile

A better analogy would making it illegal to drive on streets (even though it's legal to own and drive a car). It effectively limits and eliminates 90% of where you can drive....which is what this law is trying to do - eliminate 90% of where you're allowed to smoke in SF

What bullshit

Or that making it illegal for you to drive on streets when it has been shown that your driving habits endanger the lives and health of others, but only streets where the population is dense enough to make your driving habits a high-impact situation.

Now doesn't that make sense? If something that YOU do has been found to negatively impact the health of OTHER people, don't you think they can control how and where you do it? Oh wait, if you drive recklessly and endanger others, they take your license away. Time to get buttsore over that.
