The Nanny State keeps on rolling in California:

The measure, proposed by Newsom and approved by the city’s Board of Supervisors, amends the health code to prohibit tobaccos sales in drug stores of all sizes. However, pharmacies located inside of “big box” retailers or grocery stores are exempt.

Starting Oct. 1, a store that violates the ban is subject to administrative penalties by the city’s director of public health. Businesses also can be criminally cited and face fines ranging from $100 to $1,000.

Knucklehead San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said, “Pharmacies should be places where people go to get better, not where people go to get cancer.” I wonder what his position is on pharmacies selling medical marijuana.

This is an issue of choice. Does a person in California have a right to hurt themselves? No. The state knows what is best for you.
