The Real Neo-Prohibitionists

They said they just wanted to ban smoking on airplanes because people could not avoid the smoke. Then they said they just wanted to ban smoking in most workplaces, except for bars and restaurants which of course people had a right to smoke in. Then they said, you know what we do want to ban smoking in bars and restaurants. They argued that people could still smoke outside or in the privacy of their own homes. Then, jurisdiction after jurisdiction began prohibiting smoking outside. Now, the anti-smoking fascists want to ban smoking in the privacy of your own home. "For the children", of course. I would have more respect for these assholes if they just came out and told the American people their ultimate goal, the prohibition of tobacco and other things they personally don't like.
