How is telling an old woman in a nursing home she cant smoke the right thing to do. Its always been about controling peoples behavior under the thin veil of health.

How true it is all about control, if it was about health they would ban all-you-can-eat buffets too, as well as McDonalds and the list goes on. But then don't be suprised if the behavior police look to those next.

It's the right thing to do when her smoke effects other people, i.e., all the staff and visitors as well. Just because she is old doesn't give her the right to pollute the air others around her must breathe. The "right", decent, ethical and moral thing for all smokers, regardless of age, is to be considerate and NOT SMOKE AROUND OTHERS. PERIOD!

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Scorpio

Don't let yourself be caught up in a crowd mentality. Just because someone else makes a major production out of what should be a simple matter, doesn't necessarily mean that it has to affect you adversely. You might be able to bring down the volume with a tap on the shoulder and a meaningful look. Even though it might not seem like it, your cool head is definitely appreciated at times like this.
