Not yet? Certainly very soon. This article in Medical News Today -- a web publication from the UK with no actual names of real people associated with it, for what it's worth -- complains about the lack of ability for people to force others to stop smoking.

They cite a University study that mentions that local health department directors across North Carolina are unsure if they can ban smoking outdoors. Of course, they quickly moved to change the laws in North Carolina, despite the billion-dollar tobacco agreement that limits government from passing such laws, because there are "exceptions" to that "agreement." So very soon, if you smoke outdoors, you will go to jail.

Of course, they claim that these policies are important because "studies have proven that secondhand smoke can increase the likelihood of lung cancer, asthma attacks, heart disease and numerous other serious illnesses." Of course, I can find just as many studies that prove the opposite, but those, apparently, do not matter when you have an agenda.

Second-hand smoke may be unpleasant. It may make your clothes stink. Personally, I cannot stand it. However, it will not give you cancer. It's simply not true, no matter what the "health departments" and others may want you to believe. They are lying to you, because they want to control your life. And you will be punished if you do not conform to their idea of society.

Oh how I seriously yearn for freedom. The Free State Project looks better and better every day.
