Dennis and Judi were discussing the story of Jersey City Councilman Rolando Lavarro who wants to ban smoking in all public parks.

Is this really a politician protecting the public's health or is it just another politician over-stepping their bounds?

Dennis and Judi are both former smokers and they think that this is just another example of the government getting too involved in our lives.
