Bearing Drift: Smoking Ban Socialism

Jim Hoeft over at Bearing Drift lays the House Republicans out on the “compromise” smoking ban:

The release detailed the legislation as banning smoking in nearly all restaurants across the Commonwealth, allowing narrow exceptions for private clubs and restaurants with a designated smoking room that is physically separated and independently ventilated from non-smoking dining areas.

Wow. Now there’s a free market solution for you.

As a conservative, this sucks. Let’s hope this is part of a larger strategy by Howell on a budget compromise.

I doubt it.  

Once again,  a little bit of our freedom is leeched away by do-gooders in positions of power.
