I can’t stand cigarette smoke.I’ve never lit up even as an act of curiosity.But there is one thing I definitely abhor more than cigarette smoking – gutting of free will by the government. It’s an act that leads to a much more vicious and destructive death via cancer of the soul.New York City, an early benefactor of the don’t-tread-on-me-movement that tore the colonies away from the micro-governing of King George III, now wants to raise the legal age to buy smokes from 18 to 21.If you find cigarette smoking disgusting and deadly, your first inclination might be to applaud the proposal. But if you value the ability to make your own decisions and not be viewed as a human widget by government types that see themselves as masters of the world, you should man the barricades.
