Recommendation on smoke- and aerosol-free environments (debate)
Mr President! It's getting better and better: Now the EU even wants to ban smoking outdoors, for example in swimming pools and amusement parks, but also at bus stops or in beer gardens – all over Europe. Although it has no competence for this, there is also a lack of scientific justification. But the EU's regulatory craze simply knows no boundaries anymore. Your paternalistic approach is a disenfranchisement of the citizens and shows once again what image you have of the citizen. You regard the citizens as subjects, as naughty children, whose lives you presume to determine down to the smallest detail. Citizens are therefore right to say: The hell with this EU. Their way of thinking is not liberal, it is authoritarian and has meanwhile clearly totalitarian traits. Why don't you just leave the people alone?
