Watching Eli smoke Robs cigars
I just received my Summer 2007 issue of Cigar Magazine and after a little reading I find the tone of the issue to be one that has been on my mind for a while. Seldom to I enter into political conversation or express my beliefs on major social issues. Today, however I thought I would take the time to say a few words concerning an issue that certainly affects us all and some drastically more than others. We are facing a time where I honestly believe that our right to smoke is going to be taken away. Here in Alabama new legislation is in the works to bring us closer to the realm of the absurd than ever before concerning smoker’s rights. Cities all over the United States are enacting and enforcing bans on indoor and outdoor smoking. Their aim, so they say, is to protect us and them from the evils of smoking. These so called do gooders are looking to severely limit our civil liberties and take from us our right to pursue happiness through something as simple as a cigar. It seems that these people know better than you and I what is good for us.
There are many things that we see eye to eye on and other things we don’t. One thing that I am sure of, however, is that we all agree that we have the right to smoke our beloved cigars and that we are tired of being told we can’t. It is high time that we began to make a stand of sorts by letting the political powers that be that we have had enough and they must stop trying to take our right to smoke away. Please consistently write to your local politicians and show up to council meetings and make your self heard. We do need to intervene now and let our opinions be made known.
If I sound naive I’m honestly sorry. I do believe that if we speak loud enough we will be heard. So please speak up.
