Restaurants here in Nevada had separate smoking and non-smoking areas. There was a clear and ventilated area for non-smokers.

Tobacco is evil. If you so called Free pers think addiction to a cancer causing product is so very wonderful then I think you should reconsider your thought processes. Seriously, how many of you are still smoking and or chewing?! Talk about stupid.

Smell of syrup, vanilla, cooking meat or musk make me gag. Olfactory senses differ.

...

Probably due to smoking damage.

second hand smoke was the deadliest threat since mustard gas.

It's actually pretty bad. With two parents who smoked growing up I had no idea that one didn't have to feel constantly nauseous riding in a car.

It’s not about smoking, or guns, or climate, or health, or aerosol propellent, et al ad naseam, it’s about CONTROL!

I bet myself you would say that. I won! But no. Even as a child before I began the nasty habit, some things never agreed with me. Perhaps I am damaged.

So go to a non smoking restaurant.

It’s called “freedom”. Look into it sometime.

In this case, follow the money. Lawyers were never able to make a case against tobacco companies, because tort law had existed for hundreds of years, and they could not prove their case.

To get around the law, they bribed legislators to *change the liability standards*. The state legislators then got a cut of the money.

Billions went to the liability lawyers from cigarette taxes. A great deal of it is used to fund “progressive” causes.

I’ve heard of houses being rehabbed because the previous owners were smokers, but never because the previous owners baked cookies. Best of luck to you.

>Their habit should not intermingle with non-smokers.

Just like your habits should never cross paths with those of different opinion.

Facts be darned. The EPA wants you.

The advantage is not cardiac but cleaner air in the restaurants.

Don’t interfear with psychosis. It dangerous like waking a sleepwalking smoker or is it a smoking sleepwalker. People just love to control their neighbors. Group think has killed more people than cigarettes and Hitler combined. Yeah I went there.

According to federal regulation on federal property, if using a nicotine patch, you must be in an approved smoking area. No joke. Read then. Chew, dip, vape, smoking, any nicotine product can only be used in an area marked or designated for smoking. Dumb ass busy bodies, control freaks can’t think worth a shit.

Rush addressed this today. He posits, that it is due to the push for legalization of pot across the fruited plain. Can’t smoke pot where ever and when ever you like, if you’ve got those atuquated smoking bans in place.

And he points out that; people who smoke pot don’t mind the second hand smoke, because; breathing it all in is kind of the point.

That’s OK, the Right does the same in reverse, so it all balances out.

No, that poster is an hysteric; what was posted is patently ridiculous and impossible to boot. Go read it again.
