It’s time to pull out the boiling-frog analogy again. People who would make your choices for you have scored another victory, as it’s now illegal in Maine to smoke … outside.
From the Kennebec Journal:
“I’m happy to say that, during beautiful summer days, Maine people will no longer have to make the unfortunate choice of dining inside or choosing to be outside and inhaling smoke.”
Those choice words come from (who else) a politician who supports the ban.
I’ve never smoked, I’ve had no desire to, and cigarette and cigar smoke can literally make me sick if I’m around it too much.
But here’s a clue for the people who would take away your freedom: If you can’t stand the smoke, get off of the outdoor smoking patio.
