The unilateral actions of Trenton politicians are plain wrong. Government needs to stop diminishing our liberty. Businesses will develop and implement “fire-safe” and other innovations in their given fields. Government intervention hinders ingenuity.
The Press of Atlantic City featured our work:
The new law in New Jersey goes too far for Jesse O. Kurtz, of the Smokers Rights Association, an opponent of Atlantic City’s smoking ban that begins in October on all casino gaming floors.
While he’s not against fire-safe technology and manufacturers using it, the requirement that all cigarette sellers must now carry those types of cigarettes is alarming, Kurtz said.
“If cigarette companies want to do that on their own, more power to them,” he said. “But I’m against the bureaucracy in Trenton imposing these ideas on the free market and free citizens.”
Imposing fire-safe technology is another instance of government injecting itself where it does not belong. A new crop of legislators are needed to repeal both this act and the NJ Clean Air Act.
