    Unless the subject is race, sexuality, and religion.

      It's not fascist, but it is totalitarian, but the anti-smokers are more leftist, socialist, nanny-state supporters. More Orwellian, but then he could smoke, and drink. I guess it's really become "American". Sad.

        Well to play devil's advocate those don't work as analogies as most consider those not something you choose while smoking/tobacco use would be considered a choice.

                  Yes and no, it is more culturally ingrained for some religions where the choice has consequences on your local social structure. However I understand what you are saying, but the law of the land specifically legislates against religious persecution.

                    Tell that to the droves of Mormons out here in Mesa... They really have no choice... It's strange because they think they do but in reality.. They don't..

                    Of course they can leave the "Church" but there would lose a lot of there friends, ties with family, respect from their friends etc....

                    I hate to say it and please don't be offended but I live and work around a ton of Mormons and the one theme I notice is that they are slow.. Ok maybe that's not the right word.. Gullible... That's better but still not quite right...
