Laura or Larry, answer me this; Why, in your opinions, is it inappropriate
for the gov't to ban smoking in (restricted) public places, but appropriate
for them to ban the use of, for instance, marijuana (in all places). I am
assuming(very possibly wrongly) that you like many people I talk to are
in favor of the law against marijuana. If you are in favor of the marijuana
law please explain the difference between the two situations or explain
how you justify your arbitrary (in my opinion) judgement that marijuana
should be banned.

P.S. You're off the hook (at least with my argument) if you're in favor of
legalization of marijuana.
P.P.S No, I've never touched the stuff!
