RE: Rule # 6

Guns are too hot a topic for most discussions. I would recommend refraining from it.

Really sablebrush52? Stop trying to provoke what isn't there.

Really? It's all about you? Still trying to deflect, misdirect, mischaracterize? Still not good at it? Still trying to control others freedom of speech and expression?
We were discussing tobacco legislation as a topic of political discourse and its place on this forum. This then became an abstract discussion on "politics" as an idea. You then tossed in

The reason it is prohibited is not because it is bad for us, but because it is allowing the creation of new precedents in law that will affect many other areas of our life. It is being attacked first due to the fact that is was considered an easier target than some of the other laws that are coming in the future.

which pulls the topic well beyond the limit of tobacco legislation of tobacco legislation, beyond an abstract generality of "politics" and supposes a general campaign over all aspects of life.
If anyone is trying to provoke, it's you.
And this is why political discussions don't work here.
