More seriously, regulation takes some freedom away, but you have to look at the big picture. Smoking is harmful, even second-hand smoking, and public health efforts to reduce its effects should be applauded and not lamented.
Oh great, then just ban it completely. And ban alcohol and sugar, and all sorts of other things that are "bad" for us.
And it's silly to try and convince someone to applaud vs lament. Do you seriously think you're going to change anyone's opinion?
Some people just hate individual responsibility. You would think that on HN, it would be different, but even this place has been infected with destructive, freedom-hating statist thinking. What a shame.
