In an AP story on smoking today you are quoted as saying "The government shouldn't protect me from myself,"
Bizarrely you miss the whole point. Laws restricting smoking protect NON-smokers from smokers. As far as I am concerned, I wiuld strongly encourage people like yourself to kill yourselves, but not in a way that exposes other people to poison. (I do not say that with malice, but rather for protection of the gene pool.)
Do you also think drunk driving laws are there to protect drunk drivers from themselves?

Dr. Schaler: glad to find your blog and glad that you're speaking out against these kinds of laws. The notion that secondhand smoke causes thousands of deaths annually is bogus, not statistically supported. Even if it were true, non-smokers can still easily avoid smoke without these laws.
