I do not draw the line at telling a person they may not smoke in a car with the windows rolled up and kids in the backseat, but I do not believe the gov't may draw the line as flippantly as I. That is the point I am trying to make.
I think anti-smoking sentiment is worthwhile and righteous. If I was in power, I would probably vote in favour of the law. However, the fact that we all agree this is wrong does not necessarily mean that we have the right to legislate it.
