New Zealand - you gotta be this old to have rights.

Sounds like a good idea.. not having that stink when walking behind a smoker!

I don' t smoke. Or chew. Or stuff cigars up my ass (is that a thing? I'll bet there' s a dedicated web site).
I don't allow it in my house or car..I barely tolerate it outdoors. (Don' t be pitching your butts in my yard).

But - creating second class citizens hardly seems like an equitable way of handling a distasteful habit.

Hey - you could get rid of all sorts of nasty behavior by taking away the right to free speech. And let' s end bullying by restricting internet usage by people born after 1960.....

It will be a utopia......

Free speech and online bullying don’t take $6 billion out of the New Zealand healthcare system every year. Secondhand free speech doesn’t cause 1700 new cases of childhood asthma every year. Neither of the things you sneakily mention cause cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, tooth loss, gum disease, and a stench that would knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.

Someone else’s ‘right’ to smoke shouldn’t infringe to my right to fucking breathe.

If it' s that bad (and I agree it is) - don' t allow it. Period.



But - take a look at the US model of prohibition ( alcohol)  as a model of what to expect.
