What bullshtein.  This goes way above and beyond smoking.  This is a complete and total invasion of privacy.  The only person who can dictate whether or not a person can smoke inside an apartment/condo/townhome/etc is the landlord.  Get the government out of my farging house.

I've changed my mind. I think I want the government to rescue me from myself and tell me what to do. Things seem to be going far too predictably for me while I've been in charge of my life. Work work, drink drink, farg drink farg. Boring. Let's spice this farger up. Maybe I'll get drafted. Or maybe I'll be told that broccoli is now illegal to consume within fifty feet of a crying baby for fear of unpleasant gas. Maybe I'll be forced to eat only government sanctioned vitamin bars for three weeks a year.

The possibilities are endless! Up with intrusion! Down with privacy and choice!

Atta boy.  Resistance is futile.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Done deal

[Sgt PSN]

Bogus. 

[ice grillin you]

that law is almost as dumb as not banning smoking in restaurants and bars

[Geowhizzer]

Wow.  Asinine.  Orwellian, even.

Some of us were saying that a little futher upstream on this slippery slope.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- It's last call tonight for smoking in bars and restaurants in Maryland. At midnight the state's smoking ban takes effect.

The ban will mean that patrons won't be allowed to light up in any indoor areas of bars or private clubs such as the American Legion as long as employees are present.

The ban will not affect outdoor seating areas or clubs with no employees. Bar owners could be fined for allowing smoking after tonight.

Bars that argue the ban will hurt business will be allowed to apply for limited waivers from the state -- but they'll have to ban smoking first to prove that business suffered.

Already three Maryland counties and the District of Columbia do not allow smoking in bars

Thank god.

Social conservativism at its finest.
