Yup, that's exactly what it is. Assembly Bill 4306, sponsored by two Democrats, quite frankly says:

1. a. Smoking by an operator of a moving motor vehicle on a public road or highway shall be unlawful. For the purposes of this act, "smoking" means the burning of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other matter or substance which contains tobacco.

Fines will range between $100.00 and $250.00 if caught.

Ok, we all know this is a trampling of our freedom to live our lives as we want. But let's take a look at some comparisons:

1. The American Automobile Association (Triple A), did a study that showed that adjusting a car radio or CD-player accounted for 11.4% of accidents, while smoking only accounted for 0.9%.

2. Democrats see no problem trampling on the rights of people to smoke cigarettes, but complain that enforcing our immigration laws is a trampling of human rights. Which is worse, stopping the flow of terrorists, or reducing the number of smoking-related car accidents?

3. Democrats complain that American farmers and workers are unable to provide their families with the basic necessities because Republicans are sending jobs overseas. So who will be hit hardest by this new law, the smokers, or the tobacco farmers and cigarette workers?

Democrats love legislation that targets smokers, because it hurts the tobacco companies. Democrats love to hurt the tobacco companies, because they like the idea of the "little guy going after the big guy". It's about those frivolous lawsuits filed by cancer-stricken smokers trying to blame the cigarette makers for their habit. This law simply bolsters the notion that "Democrats are looking out for you".

Since the data shows that more than 10 times the number of car accidents are caused by people fussing with their car-audio systems, then why don't Democrats seek to make car-radios illegal? It's because Democrats have enjoyed a long relationship with the entertainment industry.

You see, it really is about politics.
