Big Brother is watching after you. Is this all beginning to sound like a POLICE STATE to anyone? I dont see how you can regulate any LEGAL drug out of a home. If cigarettes are so damn bad how come the govt doesnt put down the tobacco companies? Maybe the anti cigarette people ought to get a hotshot attorney and file a MASSIVE CLASS ACTION SUIT against the Federal government for LEGALIZING TOBACCO? jdn

I wouldn't approve of the government banning smoking in peoples own homes, but if the government bans smoking in their own housing that's different. * * *

If Seattle liberals push poor smokers* out of public housing and they become homeless will they still blame Bush and the conservatives for them being homeless? I think so. Smoking is much more prevalent among the poor and less educated: Current smoking prevalence also was higher among adults living below the poverty level (32.9%) than among those at or above the poverty level (22.2%). ........... By education level, smoking prevalence was highest among adults who had earned a General Educational Development diploma (42.3%) and lowest among those with graduate degrees (7.2%). cdc.gov
