A great start would be anywhere anyone complains about it

so all public places, townhouses, detached homes if the stench is
detectable off site like a neighbors yard. smoking should be illegal
around any child anyone under 21

On private property, if the owner or someone who lives there objects to it
(assume that defendant children object, like with rape).

we asa nation really need to extqunish smoking completely.

Yes.

the fiancial and personal costs, are just way too high

I remember something about how someone who smoked for 40 years has spent
enough money to buy a house (and the house isn't putting poison in your
lungs).

what the hell business is that of yours?

Indeed, I prefer a free society.

That's an odd statement coming from a British subject living in a country where one can be jailed for defending himself or insulting a homosexual. What a country, glad I'm not there. ^_^

In many places today you could be arrested for insulting a homosexual, depending on what the insult was. They call it a hate crime.

Funny thing is starting to happen. Some state down south, there is a
bill to make crimes against cops a hate crime now. The reasoning is that
it's a hate crime if it's based on race, religion, gay, skin color, so
let's add cops to the list. Sounds good to me. Then we should keep on
adding, until we get back to where we started, which is just equal treatment
for everybody. If you get beat up or killed, there is plenty of discretion
in the sentence and the judge can adjust it to fit the circumstances.
In other words, we don't need these "hate" laws and IMO, many of them
are unconstitutional. I was watching the news few weeks ago, and there
was some guy murdered and the reporter was saying that they were looking
into whether it was a hate crime, so the perp could be charged. Good grief.
It's a murder already, just sentence him under the murder laws.
