    lol yeah I respect inexistent 'god given rights' the same amount as I respect the rights bestowed upon me by the school of Hogwarts.

    Good try passing off your personal religious beliefs as universal truths though.

    Maybe you're not quite clear on what a right is - its generally something that that's enshrined in constitutional law like for example in a human rights act, or for some advanced democracies even the right to privacy is included in a bill of rights. The 'right to smoke and be unhealthy' is not a right at all, its a freedom that you may have.

    Oh but it just isn't. Tobacco is a controlled substance in pretty much every country in the world. Now you may disagree as to where this government is being too restrictive and that's fine, but it doesn't mean you have any inherent rights to consume tobacco. The same way you don't have a right to consume heroine or meth.

    Nope, its not. You’re confusing having a right and having the freedom to do something. In one you have no constraint from the state to carry out an action, in the other you are entitled to something by society. Different things.

    He's known this for a while now. Its why he's been pushing for delays to his trials, so he can just get another chance at being elected and then never leaving power again.
