The point was that there are many other things that infringe on civil liberties, like wearing a seatbelt...etc. So the question is, outside of an intrusion of one's civil liberties, why would you not wear one?
NH has different community standards than the rest of the country. In NH, adults don't have to wear seat belts. In NH, adults don't have to wear helmets on motorcycles. Any right not reserved to the Federal government is ceded to the States. Like it or not, NH used to have a more libertarian bent to how it is governed. This is changing though with the influx of people moving here from blue states. Not wearing a mask is a natural extension of this libertarian bent.
