as a biker, motorcycle insurance is cheap since falling off usually is a short ride to the graveyard. they are 5 times more dangerous than a compact car. primary cause of motorcycle deaths is chest being crushed.
in the last century American helmets had a 15 MPH rating. pre-seat belt laws 20% of all car accidents were head injuries. more than all motorcycle injuries put together.

Are Bruno and her friends at the Newman Center?

And that’s what clearly defines banning cigarettes from something, say, like having to wear a motorcycle helmet.

But at this point, cigarettes are being taxed so much, that it also is keeping people from smoking even in their homes. Thus, Bruno’s comment (I think. If I even remember my mindset back then).

Of course, this argument has so many angles. That if someone falls off a motorcycle with no helmet, or they get lung cancer, often a lot of the financial burden can fall on the state.

Turning and turning, in the widening gyre.

The thing is, I appreciate laws that protect me from other peoples’ stupidity – such as anti-smoking laws. I don’t see why anyone should have the right to make me breathe poison in a public place.

We can all go ahead and be as stupid as we like in the privacy of our own homes.
