Where is the line between creating public bans and infringing upon individual freedoms? Should there be a ban upon people smoking outside in public places? Should tobacco products in general be included in this ban? I would love to hear what others say on this.Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786708999592989786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509187841033628660.post-91484707947186725132010-02-06T20:28:10.500-07:002010-02-06T20:28:10.500-07:00The controversy of second hand smoke could be ende...The controversy of second hand smoke could be ended quickly by a simple act of legislation. Anyone presenting information represented as science or health reliant information, which is later found to be false or misleading, would be rewarded with a mandatory ten year jail sentence.<br /><br />I can guarantee the bandwagon of smoker hatred would end overnight and the profiteers would be making deals in self preservation convicting each other. Similar to the last time their ilk rose to prominence and Doctors were hanged at Nuremberg. The laws of Autonomy created in the wake, are largely being minimized by the bigots and zealots of Public Healthism, they are laws we found at the expense of millions who died without them. No one has the right to make health choices for others and no one has a right to demand rights to the detriment of others, especially with the convenience of a lie, as we find in the “toxic effect of second hand smoke”.snowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190467191176591296noreply@blogger.com
