I don't smoke but I think this is pathetic. Any one remember the days when Americans were free?

Reporting from Sacramento - State lawmakers adopted one of the nation's most far-reaching regulations of tobacco use Monday, approving a bill to outlaw smoking at 278 state parks and beaches.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has not said publicly whether he will sign the measure, which would allow a fine of up to $100 for smoking at a state beach or in a designated section of a state park.

Tell me what your problem is with smoking bans in public places?
Is your problem that people's God-given right to smoke might be infringed upon?
Tell me what your problem is with smoking bans in public places?
Here's my problem: "The Democratic majority, however, argued that the ban was justified because of the health risks "
Banning outdoor smoking in stadiums where you are forced to sit next to someone is one thing...they can't prove this ban will help anything. It BS govenrnment control. Where does it end?
So that means that when I go to a California State Park, I just have to suck it up and deal with wheezing, shortness of breath, and itchy eyes because I am surrounded by smokers?

Matter of fact, yes. You got a point beside the one on your head?

I am soooo not moving back to that shithole of a state.

On a beach?
Yeah...lots of oak trees.
The bill is unconstitutional. The state parks and the National parks are for everyone. Allocations must be made so that all can enjoy the parks. If allotments can be made for for snowmobiler's, allotments can be made for smokers. For the record, I am a nonsmoker.

Why?
The last time I was set free from being incarcerated there was the last time I stepped foot on the place.
I'm all for whirled peas. We should tell the Israeli's they can have CA if they take it.

By allotment, are you referring to building a smoking building?
Because if smokers are allowed to smoke anywhere that they want, then some sort of allotment should be made for asthmatics and those who are allergic to cigarette smoke.

Aren't buses allowed to mass transit wherever they want? Aren't stupid leftwingers allowed to open their carbon dioxide flapping gums wherever they want?
You don't have a point. Except the aforementioned one on your head.

I think designated smoking areas would take care of the issue. If you don't smoke, keep away from the designated smoking areas; 50 feet ought to do it, that way your lungs will only be subject to what the rest of us are subject to.
California snack tax may be next. Or a fast food tax. Or maybe an "Unhealthy life choice" tax. I think the last one is more up Ca's ally....it promises to encompass everything they can possibly tax as an excuse of saving ourselves from our own personal decisions

You guys quit picking on my native state. No place is perfect! Just because California gave us Nancy doesn't mean it is Hell on Earth... just that she is running America through Hell on Earth.
There are a lot of beautiful places in California... and then there is LA.
