Quote:Personal choice extends to groups of people as well, if a local township, community, city ect.....decides they don't want a type of commerce in their jurisdiction so be it. If I want tobacco I'll make sure I don't live in those townships, communities, cities. It happens all the time, cities prohibit strip clubs or adult entertainment and so on.

 

A big part of being libertarian is letting people make choices even if we don't agree with it. I don't agree with banning tobacco, it's a legal product but if some random city in Mass. does it so what, it's not different than the city in Georgia prohibiting adult entertainment.

 

Different levels of government have different roles. Absolutely at the local level is where we should see these things played out.

How does this play out? Does it just make it illegal for stores to sell cigs and ecigs like noted in the article? Or is it an outright ban. I.E. illegal if someone orders online and has shipped to their house where the use it in? Obviously they can ban in public areas but can they make this illegal like on par with pot being illegal?
