[...] Well, Election Day is finally here. We were going to publish some diatribe on smoking bans and urge you to vote, but – quite frankly – we’re sick of all the politics. [...]

James-

I noticed that one too!

As a former New Yorker I find it particularly offensive.

I see they didn't put up bill # S7956 – The Douche free nation bill.

I thought this one in New York was hillarious and scary at the same time.

Prohibits smoking in a vehicle in the presence of a minor
Bill #: S7955
Year: 2006

Bill Summary:
Would prohibit smoking in a motor vehicle when a child under the age of six who weighs less than 60 pounds is restrained in a child passenger safety seat. Any person found guilty of violating this act would be fined not more than $50. Would allow the dismissal of that fine for a first-time violator who successfully completes a smoking cessation program. Would be effective on the 30th day after approval.

First off, a 60 lb kid restrained in a safety seat? That's called abuse. Smoking cessation program? Is it a 12 step program? Hmmm … might be a good place to pick up girls. What would be considered hitting "rock bottom"? in this case? Smoking a swisher sweet?

It will be interesting to see how all these retarded ballot initiatives and bills play out. Please give us an update after the election.

Am I detecting a hint of sarcasm?

C'mon guys, I think you've lost faith in our elected officials. Despite the fact that we're consenting adults, don't we need Uncle Sam to tell us where and when (and what) we can smoke? I think he knows best. Besides, who are we as taxpayers to choose not to allow the government to over-tax certain tobacco? Isn't that for our own good?
