Reply #2: Either smoking is a legal activity or it isn't [View All]

Sorry, but I think this stinks worse than the smoking does. What's the next tax, the one on overweight people? The one on people who grab lunch at a fast food place? How about a hefty tax on all the employees who lost parents to either cancer or heart disease?

Smoking is getting to be a very expensive addiction on its own and once non smokers are protected by forcing it out of enclosed spaces, there should be no additional penalty. It's its own punishment, IMO.
