New Hampshire … So Much for the Live Free or Die State, NH Bans Smoking in Bars and Restaurants

“The science is clear — secondhand smoke poses a dangerous health risk, and that is why this new law is so important,” Lynch said.

What a bunch on nonsense coming out of the once “Live Free or Die State”. New Hampshire that always prided itself on its independence and always straying off the beaten path has just become one of the many. The Granite State has passed a smoking ban in bars and restaurants. God forbid it be up to the business owner to make this decision about his or her own livelihood. The business owner has invested how much time, money and energy only to have  politicians interfere with private enterprise.  Who ever heard of no expectation of smoke in a bar or pool hall. Or a   cigar bar for that matter.

Now for the total hypocrisy of it all. Governor Lynch, if the science is so clear and smoking provides such a health risk than what would you call not making it mandatory to wear a seat belt while riding in a car or a helmet while riding a motor cycle? Yea, no health risks there. What’s next from the “Live Free or Die” state, a state income tax?

 The reality is that the smoking police politicians are some of the worst hypocrites of all. If smoking is so bad and such a health risk and killer … then make it illegal. No, the politicians can’t have that. They would rather tax these cancer sticks and make money off things they state cause such harm. Once again, politicians just caring for “WE THE PEOPLE”.
