Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Sep 9 12:57:18 2007, in response to Re: More insane laws, posted by David of Broadway on Sun Sep 9 12:45:47 2007. What about the freedoms of people who enjoy smoking while reading? Why am I not free to smoke while reading a book in the library? (Answer: Because, if I had the freedom to smoke in the library, then others would not have the freedom to breathe smoke-free air in the library.)Right, I don't understand what you are getting at. It's a public indoor facility. Smoking while driving is a distraction. So is the radio. Let's ban radios from cars now too. Please post all the stats you have on the percentages of accidents due to people smoking in their car because of this supposed "distraction". (I also don't believe that was the angle the law was being brought up for, but I don't know enough about it). If the legislation also applies to passengers, then I find it harder to agree. (But, then again, I don't live in such a municipality. If the people who live there want such a law, more power to them.) It would be for anyone in the car. And no, no power to them. It's the person's car, and they have every right to smoke in it if they chose, just as they have complete right to ban others from smoking in their vehicle, or allow smoking in their vehicle. |
