ding ding ding. quite possibly the most sensible thing I've read in this thread so far.
there's been some "slippery slope" fallacies popping up here and there, ie - "they've taken away our right to smoke on planes, what will they take away next? let's keep an eye on this disturbing trend" except that my ability to be in a public space without having my health compromised by an entitled minority of people who don't give a f*ck about their bodies is a *literal expansion* of my freedom & an objectively more progressive way to have a society.
