memason, I quit smoking in 1973 and its something I wanted to do. But honestly I did not care much for the way that the government, corporations etc. treated smokers. It was a clear example of how government can use propaganda to turn against a targets segment of society. Now the government's target are people they consider and define as being obese. I agree with a positive atempt at helping people stay healthy but take a closer look at what the government is doing and you will see they are infringing on people's rights, turning society against them and making these folks feel worse about themselves. What we need in this country is to return to encouraging people to be individuals.
