I'm with you BB! Seems like we are slipping down a slippery slope with the government telling us what we can and cannot do. This second hand smoke business is a bunch of BS and they know it. It's just an excuse to pander to their tree hugging, fern eating, panty-wearing, left wing constituants. The problem is how do you stand up in the legislature, or any where else for that matter, and make a logical argument for it?
The best argument is based on civil rights, which nobody seems to give a damn about as long as its not them thats affected. ]

First they came for the smokers, and I did nothing. Then they came for the hunters, I did nothing. Then they came for the fishermen, I did nothing. When they came for the for me, there was nobody left to do anything...

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
