Getting arrested for acting like an idiot is as good a lesson as they'd learn in the classroom. Apparently, some of these people need it. Let's hope they learn from their stint in the pokey and their fines.
While I agree it's one's own personal choice on whether or not to smoke, don't smoke near me. If it's your choice to smoke and I have to breathe it, then it's my choice to chew and spit on you. If your smoke isn't supposed to bother me that much then my secondhand tobacco shouldn't bother you, either. People can quit smoking if they so choose. You had to teach yourself how to and fight your body's urge to tell you you were doing something wrong to begin with - you can undo it, too. There are tons of tobacco quit programs. Find one, if you don't like the tax. While in general I absolutely belive this country is taxed to death, which is contrary to a lot of what this country was founded against, if this tax gets people to abandon the cigarette, so be it. I'll raise heck when Uncle Sam starts taxing jogging.
