Illegal to Smoke at Home: Butt Out?

This is not an article, it is a blog that was written by an elderly woman in California. It concerns smokers and their right to smoke in their homes. Belmont, California is now the home to the second most restrictive smoking law in America today. It states that it is now illegal to smoke inside of an apartment or condo. That is anything where your walls, ceiling, or floor touch another unit. It has also been put on the citizens shoulders to turn in their neighbors for doing so. There is also a fine with being caught smoking in any type of residents that is not free standing.
What the heck! I am a smoker and this really ticks me to no end. I mean what are they trying to prove here? They have already made us pay more money, not only to purchase them but also in taxes. Now they are trying, well not trying they are, to make them illegal. I can understand the consequences of second hand smoke and the worries about it. I am so sick of other people (the government) telling us that what we think and want. It is a freedom, last time I checked it was still legal, it is not illegal and they all need to stop.
I am so tired of our government lately. This new president of ours and his followers are going to leave us with some very large problems by the time that they are done. If it is not illegal, it will be an at of terrorism. We will all end up being persecuted for things that should never have been. I saw a vehicle today and on the back window was "No Bama, Vote no on G2, Vote for a Free America". This is what I am talking about. Where are we headed? What is next?
