The Cigarette Witch-hunt Continues

WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan says there is clear evidence that there is no safe level of exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke. Interesting. Yet, Dr. Chan insists only that smoking in public places be banned, instead of the obvious answer: ban all smoking everywhere. If there is "no safe level" of secondhand smoke, logic dictates that there is no safe level of first-hand smoke. Therefore, in the interests of everyone's health, we need to ban tobacco. As well as automobiles, campfires, and paint, because fumes from these things are just as dangerous as second-hand smoke.

Puritanical busybodies feel compelled to force you to act in accordance with what THEY think is good for you.

Straight from the horse's mouth, folks: Democrats don't care about the Constitution. Constitution be damned, they're on a mission!! (Bush) also called the original bill unconstitutional for directing war operations "in a way that infringes upon the powers vested in the presidency." Outside the White House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bristled at that claim. "We are not going to be submitting our legislation to somebody at one of the law schools to look for its constitutionality. We have an obligation, under the terms of the Constitution, to legislate," he said. "That's our job."

These rights are all subordinate to the goals of Socialism.
