I'm originally from Oregon and in the past year they passed a law to ban smoking in all public places, restricting places that you would expect to smoke (sports bars and the like).
Would you consider this the first of many of Big Brother forcing it's rules down our throat and cutting off our freedoms?
Personally I don't smoke but I just don't want to be the one who’s left saying, “First they came for the smokers, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a smoker. Then they came for the drinkers, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a drinker. Then they came for gamblers, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a gambler. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.”
