The non-smoking laws have gone too far. The non-smokers seem to think this law gives them some kind of personal power over the smokers. Now, they act like they have the moral right to let any smoker know how disgusting this addiction really is. It is as if they are telling the smoker something they didnt already know.

In addition to this moral superiority, they seem to think that smokers have a lower IQ than they do. I think studies will soon tell the public that smokers arent stupid. They are just addicted. There are addictions other than smoking, but somehow, they become diseases that are treatable by programs and care centers. Rehab is available for those who suffer from drug dependency. There are fat camps and clinics for those who suffer from the disease of obesity, and there is AA for the people addicted to alcohol. Even though alcohol has many negative stigmas against it, you can still purchase and enjoy alcohol in public.

And yet, smoking is being pushed into the closet. Smokers get to feel guilty where ever they go, and have non-smokers insult them openly. Smokers find themselves sitting through health lectures given by morbidly obese women, who have 5 morbidly obese toddlers in tow. They get to hear how their habits are raising the cost of health insurance, while they watch the rest of America popping pills, taking drinks, or eating donuts to help combat the rising costs.

The fact that the non-smokers have won hasnt seemed to have sunk in. Although they won this battle, they need to be careful. Opening the world to this type of legislation is a dangerous can of worms. This law is just one more freedom taken away from the American people. Watch out, something you do daily may some day offend someone with a thumb in the pie of politics, and you may find yourself breaking the law.
