It's not your call. It's theirs. Who are you to tell people how well they should be required to take care of their own bodies? Whether or not smoking is allowed in a particular facility should be up to the facility owner, not the government. If you don't like second hand smoke, stay out of the facilities where it exists.

You're going to need to explain that. Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, and I imagine it is a big killer in New Zealand too. How many people does marijuana kill per year?

I raised other issues, including recreational driving and alcohol. Where do you stand on those?
