(London.CityRegions.com, April 01, 2013 ) England, UK -- Marc Levine of the California State Assembly, has introduced a new bill that looks to make it illegal for individuals to smoke within their own homes, under certain parameters. If an individual lives in an apartment, condo, or multifamily unit, the ban applies.
Levine has also pushed in the past for grocers to to be charged for bags within the state. Now he is after the cigarettes, but only the legal kind. Levine is following a trail blazed by the New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who pushed a law that prohibits the restaurant sales of larger-than-acceptable sugary drinks (anything over 20oz). That particular law a New York judge overturned.
One politician believes that he has the right to tell New Yorkers what they may or may not put into their stomachs. Another in California has now decided that it is okay to put sanctions on whether or not one can smoke within his/her own home, according to Debra J. Saunders or the Orange County Register.
Many are concerned these politicians believe they know what is best for you, and so they feel free to enforce laws that will constrict actions under the guise of it being for one's own good.
"I've got to defend my children and yours and do what's right to save lives. Obesity kills. There's no question it kills," quoth Bloomberg in defense of his erstwhile ban on Big Gulps. Never mind that people could purchase two drinks if they wanted to get around the law. Why even bother?
When Levine was asked whether he had qualms with passing laws that tell individuals what they can do in their own homes, with those who did not comply being fined $100, he gave a statement: "When you think about this issue, we send our children to school in a smoke-free environment," he answered. "Our offices are protected by workplace laws, and where we should feel safest to breathe clean air, in our own homes, is the last unprotected place from secondhand smoke."
