ok Karl,

	You're right, you do have a poor argument.  I doubt very seriously
whether anyone is going to take to the streets over this issue.  This news
group is probably one of the few forums in the country where this is a hot
issue.  
	Secondly, I didn't mean to say that smoking was a "victimless crime".
Rather, I meant to say that we should get rid of laws which try to provide
punishments for "victimless crimes", instead of adding more laws, especially
about something as rediculous as people smoking/not smoking.
	I probably am just as annoyed as you are when a smoker exhales in
my face, or I get caught in a long meeting in a smoke filled room.  I just
don't think this is the kind of thing for government to get involved in.
	Does that clear up some of the smoke????
