Paternalistic Stupidity

San Francisco bans sale of tobacco in pharmacies.

"A pharmacy is a place you should go to get better, not to get cancer," said Nathan Ballard, spokesman for SF mayor Gavin Newsom.

And apparently San Francisco is a place where people are so dumb, they need special legislation to prevent them from walking into a pharmacy, purchasing cigarettes, and believing that the product they purchased is healthy because it was found in a pharmacy.

I believe we should also ban the sale of People magazine and Milk Duds in pharmacies, because you should go to pharmacies to get smarter and healthier....not to rot your brain and teeth...
