No one held a gun to your head to make you eat there. But you advocate the government holding a "gun" (law) to my head to forbid me to engage in a legal activity.
If you don't like smoke, don't go where there are smokers. It's really very simple. But when you decide that because you don't like smoke, others shouldn't be allowed to smoke, then you've crossed a line from believing in freedom for everyone to believing in freedom only for those who think like you..
It's a simple premise to some, but not to others. There are actually people who believe they have the right to enter any private establishment and not be offended by the toabcco smoke of others. These people are of the mind set that they should be able to enter ANY establishment at ANY time and never be offended by tobacco smoke........even in places they would never dream of setting foot into to begin with.
From my many years of experience with this particular issue I have come to understand that those that like government intrusion regarding smoking bans are also in favor of gun control and alcohol prohibition.
Ban addicts are ban addicts and they don't stop at smoking.
I have just sent umteen posts to you and others. I want you to show me where I said I think you should not be allowed to smoke? I don't want you to have smoking outlawed, but it would be nice if you would have more manners around us non-smokers.
