Social fascism scoring points again in Germany

I am for a smoking ban in public places and buildings. I am for health insurances not paying diseases that a smoker has caused himself by his smoking, for I refuse to pay for somebody else who has worked to make himself sick - I am not solidaric with people behaing stupid and self-damaging.

But I say that forbidding smoking in your private sphere, your own home, goes too far - and let not be mistaken over it: if this sentence survives it through the instances, then Germany is on the path towards such a ban. Whats next? Regulations of healthy diets you have to keep in your own home? Legal obligations to buy only certain brands of tea or coffee? Banning prepration of Pommes Frites due to acrylamid? Censoring what kind of music somebody can hear in his own flat (as long as he does not exceed the volume and makes every neighbour his involuntary audience)?

The court has overstepped a red line here - and it is me saying that, and I am really no friend of smoking, especially cigarettes stink like the plague and even as a passive smoker of some minutes only it sticks to your skin and hair and clothing even days later.

Green politicians over this year have repeatedly demonstrated quite some militant attitude in advocating enforced educational lessons to the population. Totalitarianism is quite popular to push their ideological goals, if one follows Jürgen Trittin or Katrin Göring-Eckhard.
