"And permitting smoking has anything to do with any of that how?????????"

I responded to a post by someone who called the governments ban a taking and they asserted that it was the restaurateurs right to make such a decision. I noted the degree to which the government had already usurped the owners decision making rights to a considerable degree. I thought the point would have been obvious.
