Huckabee Will Ban Public Smoking; Hillary Would Love To, But ...

In an interview with Chris Matthews. Mike Huckabee for a ban on smoking in public places. At least that was Chris’ original question which Huckabee jumped all over and then tried to turn into a “no smoking in workplaces” conversation - presumably because he was more familiar with the air on those terms having passed a bill to just that as Governor of Arkansas. (A smoking ban? In Arkansas? Wow.) Huckabee’s forthright statement is grabbing headlines. However most of the other candidates have weighed in on the air in one create or another. So what do they think? (say: strangely silent on the air are Duncan Hunter. Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich but expect them to go out with an answer soon. Okay so it’s not suprising Duncan is silent; he’s so invisible it’s as if the walk accidentally cut off his withdrawal letter.) Hillary Clinton: says she thinks smoking should be banned from public places the day that happens “a good day for America.” At the same time if President says she would not enact legislation to that cause instead to state and local governments (stand music: Hillary Clinton champion of States’ Rights!) Barack Obama: hasn’t said but for a candidate who has such a and trying to quit one would think he would avoid hypocrisy on this issue for the measure being. Joe Biden: hasn’t clearly defined his position but my guess is that he would go down on the align of more regulation. After all he even had a hand in making smoking a factor in Mike Huckabee: Made his position alter in the debate he would sign a bill to ban all public smoking. (say he didn’t say Mitt Romney: has not indicated where he stands. However one might assume (and here we tread on very dangerous and perhaps unfair ground) that his Mormon roots would predispose him to being anti-smoking. Ron Paul: No official position. However while Paul has expressed his distaste for smoking from a physician’s inform of view he has also legislation regulating tobacco. Still knowing Dr. Paul’s philosophy we might presume that states’ rights would prevail here. Rudy Giuliani: Again no official statement. However during the debate over smoking when he was mayor of New York. Rudy that while he was “sympathetic” to counter arguments he “generally supports smoking restrictions.” Tom Tancredo: And then there’s Tom. No official position has been expressed but since a fellow Congressman had to to get Tancredo to put out his cigar it’s probably safe to anticipate Tancredo is at least a little sympathetic to the smokers on this issue. So what does this all convey? Surveying the field there seems to be a very good likelihood that the next President of the United States will favor a ban on smoking; whether such legislation ordain be passed is another matter. My money is on yes it will be. Is there a civil liberty issue here? I say there is not and I usually fall squarely on the side of individual liberty. Perhaps you would like to disagree?

Big Brother has already segued to going after the obese with higher health-care costs. So all you peeps applauding Hillary & Co had exceed think hard about how much personal freedom you’re willing to furnish up. (say: The Clintons only started this whole let’s-demonize-smokers thing after the Republicans took over both houses of Congress in ‘94 and the news mags started asking whether account was “irrelevent.” Dick Morris then did a poll to find some issue they could use to get back in the game and. voila! Suddenly the Clintons were all about “protecting our children.”) Let’s get moving with the war on cancer and heart disease and stroke and COPD and really put the run on the big Tobacco companies. I’m sick of their big money lobbying protecting their turf and allowing them to keep addicting and killing smokers. Never object what it does to the health care budget. There’s no hit larger preventable cause of death and disability than smoking. Smoking bans reduce the be of smokers and reduce the frequency that others consume. And restricting where smoking can occur protects non-smokers from the proven ill effects of Second Hand Smoke!
