Science tells us that smoking is bad for you. Everyone, with the exception of a few people who are truly delusional, already knows that smoking has many potential consequences for your health. Now that that's been established decisively, science should be working on cures/treatment for cancers caused by smoking and other things, COPD, etc.
We don't need science to tell us that restricting the number of cigarettes someone can have or restricting who can smoke will reduce smoking.
This is about freedom. Weighing 300 pounds is probably worse for you than smoking. Should we have licenses to buy sodas, fast food, sweets, snack items like chips, etc.?
Actually we once didn't know that until after scientific data was created to show the damages of cigarettes. This article is nothing more than a look at ways to help reduce smoking with a pro and counter argument for the idea.
So basically that is plenty of reason for Cons to flip out over nothing, I see.

I didn't know I mentioned your name in that statement. Nor do I think this article is something that should be feared, it properly presents both sides of the argument which you and I are on the side of being against a license, but in the article there is no mention of this happening in the US.
The government has already decided what type of lightbulbs to buy, what type of toilet to install, what to eat so why not limit the number of cigarettes a person can smoke.
They know better than we do what's good for us..right ?

Just keep puffing on your cigarettes, you are just freeing up Social Security for the rest of us.
