[quote]I think it's interesting that you seem to think I'm trying to make people stop.[/quote] Not sure where you got that from. [quote] I don't give a damn what other people are doing as long as I don't pay for their extra healthcare costs, and they don't smoke where I am (ie. indoors, next to my balcony, or right by a door that I have to walk through).[/quote] You don't get to control public spaces, so they can do whatever they want until someone capable of making such decisions makes such decisions. As selfish as you might think it is when someone invades your public space with second hand smoke, I can then say that you are being selfish in wanting to squash a small freedom. [quote]Freedom means they *can* do what they want, but it still doesn't explain *why*[/quote] Freedom is the only reason somebody needs when doing something completely legal.
