Default GRANDFATHER OUT TOBACCO -- it is not about liberty?

I would tend to think that making it easy, making it legal for people
to smoke, encourages them to experiment with the habit when they might
not if it was not legal. I am an ex-smoker. And they already make
smokers miserable by forcing them to go outside, etc. If you work in
a hospital, you probably have to go down several flights of stairs,
security concerns, or the possible notion you might over look
something on a patient chart just because all you have been thinking
about for the last 30 minutes is having a cigarrette. You smoked your
cigarrette on break, the doctor is wonder where the hell you are, and
did you wash your hands?

(in addition to my other arguments). And they are already doing this
in the military (why invest a million dollars worth of training if
some idiot is going to light up on the battle field?).

I wouldn't want the government to allow the sale of dangerous drugs
(but it does it anyways), and really the only way to get people not to
smoke is to make them compete for jobs? Smoking is something that
sneaks up on you, and to make it worse, it is a drug that also opens
your airways. The damage is hidden or delayed for years, until one
day you start coughing up blood.

If you call that liberty, well, I think it is something worth the
effort to prevent from happening.
