I have said for years, if you didn’t object to no smoking laws in restaurants you cannot logically object to any other gun control laws.

A restaurant should have the right to allow smokers or not as the owner sees fit.

Absolutely agree! If a customer doesn’t prefer to ruin his meal by being forced to breathe smoke while eating it, said customer doesn’t need to patronize the place!

And I wouldn’t.

Same concept applies to “no guns” restaurants.

Yep. That was always my position too. Let the market decide. Some restaurants/bars would have no smoking at all. The anti smoking fanatics could go there if they wished. The people who didn’t want to work in an environment with smoke could work there. Others would cater to smokers and the people who didn’t mind would go there.

Freedom of choice. Nobody is forcing anybody to go to a place where there is smoking if they don’t want to.

But of course, the Left is not at all about choice except in one area only. Which is why I continually taunt them with “You ARE pro choice aren’t you?” when it comes to this, the “vax”, school vouchers, and lots of other things.

I agree. Freedom and choice should take precedence here. The obesity issue is unhealthy as well, but we seemingly celebrate obesity - look at that Black fat woman singer.

I believe that is the case in some cases in FL. We have a restaurant here in Stuart, FL (Shimpers), if the window shudders are open, smoke’m if you got em.
