More government interference with private businesses. Socialism run amok. While I applaud banning smoking in public areas, I certainly do not for private businesses, as no one is forced into these establishments against their wills.

Steve Coldiron of the Smoke-free Gwinnett Coalition told commissioners the smoking ban will save lives.

Banning cars would save lives.

Banning aspirin would save lives.

Banning water would save lives (drowning).

Banning stairways in houses would save lives.

Banning knives would save lives.

Banning fast food would save lives.

Anyone else care to add to the list?

Show me the data, you lying, fascist fink!
