I appreciate you, I really do. You have my best interests in mind, want me to stay healthy and fit. Freedom is a small price to pay for my well being. Let's take the issue with cigar bars. I personally hate walking into a cigar bar and smelling smoke. I just want to admire the furniture ...

I thought this was an excellent brief piece on utterly stupid smoking bans and over intrusions that are "good for us".
