More on Iowa smoking ban

I just can't quite figure it out what are our politicians thinking. So far they have raised the cigarette tax 1.00, they have put a ban on smoking in public areas, and now they are going to put another 1.00 tax on cigarette's. Why don't they just make them illegal. Oh that's right they are making too much money on them to make them illegal. With all the money they are making off of us cigarette smokers you would think they would be more in tune with our needs instead of taking away all of our constitutional rights. Does freedom of choice ring a bell maybe invasion of our private lives. Last time I checked I could have sworn I was still living in the United States not some dictatorship. Open your eyes America our greedy government is turning into a dictatorship. They tell us how to raise our kids and now are kids are shooting and killing people. Now they are telling us where we can smoke and where we can't. It's funny how we can't smoke anywhere in public but the casino's. Do you think that's because the casino's are paying our government I do.
