I understand the argument on each side. As an expecting father, I don’t want my pregnant wife to walk through a cloud of smoke to get to the rest room at our favorite bar. On the other hand, I believe that it is wrong for a government to pass this type of legislation that we have seen around the country.

So let’s look at it this way. All of you who think that it would be such a tragedy to walk past some casual chain smokers on occasion, just ask your parents how much and what they smoked when you were conceived and shortly thereafter. Then count your toes and fingers.

If you come up with the big 20, then be happy and live with it and move on to the next group of people to demonize – overweight people.
