I did not intend to bring about a debate about smoking. Just indicated why I like drive-ins. I do think we should be allowed to smoke anywhere there is adequate ventilation though. People who pick an choose which rights they should fight for do not deserve any of them. No rights of an individual should be infringed upon regardless of how many people support them or how few don't voice support. The smoking part, I have always been courteous of other people when and where I smoke and I don't need nonsmokers to tell me where or when I can smoke. If I light up and someone near me asks me to stop I have always stopped without complaint but to have the government to tell me to stop is just not right. Heavily taxing tobacco is not the right way to get people to quit smoking either. Quitting is hard enough for smokers and trying to force them does not create success it just creates pissed of smokers. If you want to make people quit smoking them offer them free aides to quit or work on a super pill which will guarantee that they can quit. While I am at it we need to do away with laws that only affect the individuals personal choice, like seat-belt laws. If I choose to not fasten my seat-belt then that only affects me and nobody else so it should be my choice. How many people have had accidents and went through the windshield and killed someone else? How crazy is it to be forced to were the things and people riding motorcycles aren't even required to wear a helmet? Too many laws and not enough common sense.
