Resist and say NO to the illness of enslavement promoted by smoking bans and restrictions. The punishment of the law should only be directed against guilt and never be applied to innocence. The smoking ban has not been agreed upon by society and has not been voted upon with the consent of its members - people should be free to smoke without the interference of the state or law.
