Taking things too far?
A ban on smoking has been passed by a judge upholding a rule by a condominium association in Golden Colorado. This ban will prohibit condominium owners from smoking even inside their own units. Apparently neighbors of smokers have been complaining for years that cigarette smoke has been seeping into their town houses.
Honestly, I think that’s taking things too far. These people own their units and should be able to do what they want inside their own homes shouldn’t they? Provided that they aren’t doing anything illegal.
Prior to this ruling Belmont California became the first American city to ban smoking every where within city limits, including condominiums and even cars. Detached and single family homes are excluded from this ban. The day before this ruling, the San Francisco board of supervisors voted to instruct that the police treat marijuana smoking as the cities lowest law enforcement priority.
You know if cities are going to start taking things this far, why are they still selling cigarettes. If they are as bad as we’ve been told for years and years why other than all that juicy tax money that the government gets from the sale of cigarettes are they selling them.
I can see a number of people suing the cities and condo associations that have banned smoking.
What do you think of these bannings?
I think like you are, people should be free to do as they please. That is the problem we are facing in America, when they are done with the smokers then they will make a law that says you can’t have the beer while watching T.V.
Anything that infringes on our liberties or freedoms is nothing more than tyranny.
Actually I smoked about 18 yrs. and quit, but I don’t think we need any law to force us to quit, we make that decision on our own.
