but of course, this country is founded on the idea that the people need to be protected from themselves. i'm so glad i can be trusted. |
Impressive that someone has started to notice this. I feel more free in many european countries than in the USA. Maybe, because I am a European Citizen, but maybe it is just becasue most EU law thinks of people as jsut that "people" and not "dumb cattle, that we need to protect from its own fallacies"
sorry for the off topic.
The major question here is:
Is is the governments responsibility to 'protect' non-smokers? By this I mean, is the market able to find a solution to the 'problem' of smoking, or does the government need to intervene. Obviously, we want to enable non-smokers to go out and not need to worry about their health, on the other hand, we are cutting down smokers' freedom to destroy their own health.
I have not yet made up my mind about this smoking issue, as I see points on both sides.
