New Hampshire Residents No Longer “Live Free”

This is a prelude story to the smoking bans attempted in Allegheny County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that I am going to be talking about in my column this week:

CONCORD, N.H. — Governor John Lynch signed a law yesterday banning smoking in New Hampshire’s 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.

There are LOTS of things that are dangerous health risks. Should they all be banned? Hmmm? I can create quite a list!

The question here is whether or not residents of New Hampshire will allow the government to take their freedom and dictate whether or not they are allowed to allow smoking on their PRIVATE property. Or will they live up to their motto?

Time to put your money where your mouth is. “Live Free Or Die,” Hew Hampshire … Live Free.
