did you check the policies of each party when you voted? did you vote? now that you've brought communism into the debate lets talk about communism, do you know what communism is?
maybe you did maybe you didnt maybe you do maybe you don't.
did you know that this planet has never seen a true communist society, stalin, mao zedong, and che all adopted their own versions of communism which ignored the basic principals of communism which is that everyone contributes equally to society has equal "wealth". Also communism hasnt worked so far because it still used a system of centralised government.
now you are talking about the system and if we want to talk about the system we need to start with capitalism and why its not working. Capitalism is founded on the principals that any individual has the freedom to pursue happiness whatever their interpretation of happiness is now for alot of people this is money and given the current state of the world they are probally right.
So the pro-smoking arguement is the same. I should have the right to put whatever i want into my body.
If you would like to know more this site provides more than enough information/ provides links of many different styles of government how they work or why the havent.

here are some facts/stats on smoking related illness

what about the fact that the issue of smoking in bars has nothing to do with the customers, it was an issue because bar employees have to spend the entire evening in a room full of people smoking and drinking. Even if the bar staff are smokers themselves do you actually think it is okay to spend 8ish hours constantly being exposed to smoke? So what if employers just hire smokers that are okay with it? would that been a better solution?
when you walk down a cbd during the normal break times most of the people standing around out on the street are smokers, most of the people passing by aren't. most of the customers to retail are (at the risk of sounding sexist) women and children who dont smoke. i cant really believe this needs explaining
do you think the government just spends the day talking about and passing law over lunch?
the next time a law you dont agree with is being passed, pay attention and if you dont agree voice your opinion before its too late. yes you should have an opinion and we have systems in place where you can voice your opinion you just chose to never find out how. You are entitled to your opinion but if you cant justify it why should anyone care?
