A bill making its way through the state legislature right now would make it a crime to enjoy a cigarette on the state&#8217;s beaches or in its parks.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, cigar-chomping Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will terminate this bad bill&#8230; but you know that won&#8217;t stop the Health Police. Similar bans are under consideration around the nation, <a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.douglassreport.com\/\/t\/AQ\/AAFVPg\/AAFbdQ\/AAGVZw\/AQ\/Ad481Q\/kllw\" ><font color=\"#000080\">including one I told you about in New York City.<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Soon, there won&#8217;t be any safe place for smokers, except for your own home &#8212; and you can bet your Zippo they&#8217;ll be coming after you there next. In Britain, they&#8217;re even trying to ban smoking in cars.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right &#8212; forget anything you belch from the tailpipe, because soon you may not be able to pollute the interior of your own automobile.<\/p>\n<p>They claim it&#8217;s to protect children&#8230; but the proposal would ban smoking by ANYONE in ANY car, even if there&#8217;s no child in it. Even smokers without children wouldn&#8217;t be allowed to light up inside their own vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, this has nothing to do with children. But what would you expect from these con artists? These fanatics have a complete inability to tell the truth. They invent stats and alter numbers to suit their needs&#8230; as they did prior to an earlier U.K. smoking ban passed in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>As British journalist Christopher Booker writes in London&#8217;s Daily Telegraph newspaper, these shameless phonies first claimed that secondhand smoke killed 600 people a year. When that didn&#8217;t get enough attention, they claimed it was 1,000&#8230; then 3,000&#8230; then 12,000 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>They did the same thing years earlier, when they made the ludicrous claim that smoking caused crib deaths. That fell apart when someone pointed out that those deaths actually shot up when the smoking rate went down.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;With the campaigners now gripped by this new itch to ban smoking in cars, we can expect much more of the same,&quot; Booker wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Expect? It&#8217;s already happening &#8212; just look at California.<\/p>\n<p>Lighting into liars,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.douglassreport.com\/\/t\/AQ\/AAFVPg\/AAFbdQ\/C+U\/AQ\/Ad481Q\/LUdO\" >William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Police try to ban smoking everywhere California never seems to have a problem with dope smokers&#8230; half the state is high at any given time, including all of its lawmakers.
