you make the decisions in your life, and you are where you want to be -- there needs to be more people who hold themselves accountable for their actions.....

As someone who quit smoking 6 months ago and just watched my beloved city jump on the smoking ban bandwagon I have to agree with the previous two comments. Yes, second hand smoke is not healthy, but I would argue that you inhale 10 times the toxic chemicals in daily traffic on the freeway than you do during short term second hand smoke exposure. The greater issue for me is the legislation that becomes attached and the lack of tolerance that we have for one another. Regardless of where you stand on any issue, once we allow the government to begin determining what is and isn't acceptable for the individual we have opened Pandora's Box.
