Bentonville Restricts Smoking

Welcome to the Bentonville, who's challenging Fayetteville as a totalitarian city. It's City Council decided to infringe on the smoker's civil liberties.
The Bentonville City Council approved Tuesday a resolution restricting smoking to parking lots in parks, including all walking and bike trails, the downtown square, lakes and the old train station.

Now, I'm not a smoker and I really don't like the smell of cigarette smoke, but really, banning smoking when people are outdoors is absolutely ridiculous. Just how far will Bentonville go? Will they decide to restrict the rights of smokers to light up in their own houses?
