Been off the "butts" for almost 20 years now. Most difficult for me to quit. I was an addict. Mentally and physically addicted to those dam thing. Finally beat it after years of trying. But that was a decision I made, not the government.
On the obesity story, that is a personal decision too. If we can't stop eating the wrong foods, we own what happens as a result. And I surely don't want the government telling me what I should and shouldn't eat. Tell me what's good and bad for me, otherwise "butt out". (pun intended)
But then I watch the news and some states are legalizing recreational pot smoking. This seems nuts.
Not only are you modifying your thinking, but we've got people smoking too. Not just puffing but DEEP inhaliation of the smoke. Should we non-participants have to pay for the poor health decisions of others?
Should those making poor health decisions pay higher health insurance premiums?
If you have a bad driving record you automobile insurance goes up!
Hmmmm.... just wonder'in!!
