Out of Sight

Mayor Bloomberg seems to think that if stores were to hide cigarettes the health of NYC citizens would improve.  He also thinks that allowing the sale of large soft drinks is unhealthful.  The court rejected his attempt to outlaw the sale of large soft drinks.  I can't see it accepting his desire to hide cigarettes.

I don't smoke.  I don't think I've ever had a large soft drink or, if I have had one, ever being able to finish it.  But, I must say that I find both these efforts, particularly his latest one, to impinge on people's freedom to kill themselves.
