I picked up an aromatic tobacco for the pipe, recommended by my friend Frank. Hopefully my wife will appreciate the aroma more.

Smoke Free
Arizona has had a law for awhile that doesn’t allow smoking in most public buildings (or in theory within 50 feet of the entrance, although that doesn’t get enforced at all). I think this does a decent job of protecting people who don’t want to come into contact with cigarette/cigar smoke.
Anti-freedom advocates (see what I did there?) have been pushing a new proposition on Arizona ballots to outlaw smoking in all workplaces. This would include bars and places of that nature, now a safe haven for smokers. This is supposedly an attempt to protect the employees of such places. I guess I fail to see how those employees who actually care can’t get a job elsewhere. But I digress.
The real question here is, that since this obviously won’t make people stop smoking, what will it do? It will drive them outside. This means that the secondhand smoke will make its way out of the bars into the areas outside of the bars, and possibly affect even more people.
I don’t like the way government is dipping deeper and deeper into private lives and footing us with the bill. The sad thing is, it looks like this proposition is passing by about 10%.
On a related note, out of 81 ballot propositions in the country, Arizona voters got saddled with 19 of them. Whatever happened to representative government? Maybe next year I’ll introduce a proposition to make it harder to get propositions on the ballot.
