And here I was expecting a riff on socialized healthcare! Excellent cartoon, partly because you could substitute any number of Bad Things in the place of smoking and it would ring true.

a bit of cultural equivolence worthy of peace activisits...reminds me of the bush = saddam jibes by the antiwar lobby... do you really want to keep such company?

Well said, Paul.

The difference lies in degree not in impulse

Yes, they are only different in degree, not in kind.

Good cartoon.
But my main problem with smoking would be the passive side of it. I have no problems with others smoking, its just when they do it in my presence (and I am effected by their decision) that I get slightly miffed ;)
