I never said you had no options. Your options are the political and/or judicial processes.
When we're fighting to keep the libs from. Anti-smoking laws aren't going to change unless and until the popular culture rebels against such things. As detestable as LOCAL anti-smoking laws are people have a right to vote for such politicians. YOU/I/WE need to embarrass such people for their intrusive busy-body-ism. Pols wouldn't make the laws if people didn't reward them with re-election.
Right now its all conservatives can do on a national level to keep the commies from seizing healthcare, energy and education. It's not that this nation hasn't overcome worse: abolition, universal suffrage, civil rights. Others have suffered far worse than the deprivation of their civil rights than a mere cigarette.
The political process still works.
The other option is to go McVeigh and those types should be shot on sight.
In my area this ban on smoke is causing a few problems. The expensive restaurants have had to put in take out service for smokers and the waitresses get no tips or return customers from them.
Bars have crowds outside their door smoking and new customers have a problem getting through them into the building.
In the old day the cops would check out a crowd standing outside a bar or restaurant, now some joker will under the cover of others light up a joint. Stampede, everyone moving in that direction to inhale deeply.
The old hang outs we use to visit for a beer after work and perhaps order some food are gone for smokers, then the Lady's, the working girls have lost the pick up line, " Got a light Sailor.?"
Romance is becoming a thing of the past, no more late night closing down the bar dancing to SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES , those long slow looks of eye contact while lighting another cigarette. I wonder how many of us would be here if our parents had not met when one pulled out a ZIPPO.
What happens now with the nonsmoking group after sex, do they just roll over and go to sleep. Sometimes that cigarette after sex is the best time to talk to each other.
We are kind of turning on the products that helped America grow. Tobacco and Hemp [no THC ]
