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.

well it sucks that i'm not allowed to drive 90 on the freeway, but I'm not crying about losing rights.

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

how 'bout them gun laws? sure, it's been defined that any american can own any kind of gun.... as long as their willing to pay the price. what good is a .22 against a squad of full-auto toting armored infantry?

of course... the usual cost of a full auto extends WELL beyond the means of an every day citizen.... usually above $10,000. and then the licensing, and the background check... eliminates 90% of who could own them....

this doesn't have anything to do at all with this thread really, i'm just complaining.
