Seems like a wase of time, money & energy.It's called Control! The Government did not buy the business. But they sure go in and tell the owner how they are to run it! This should be left up to the owner of the business and not the government. I shudder to think what else the "Government" has in store for us. They got their foot in with the smoking bans...........what ELSE is on their agenda? WHO else are on their agenda. Think about it.
And there are plenty of places for non-smokers to go where they don't have to be around people who do.

You have that right .Any of these so called safety controls are light on the former , VERY heavy on the latter.

Soon we will have underground clubs called "smoke easys".
The property rights issue is spot on point.
If you don't like it don't go to bars that allow smoking.
The public health issue is too creapy of socialism to be comfortable. What other thing will they ban as a public health issue?
This is why we have to make the left extinct.

They got their foot in with the smoking bans...........what ELSE is on their agenda?The foot was in the door with the WOsD in all its various facets. 60 odd years of perfecting "the technique of prohibition" has helped too. Cigarette smokers were the most likely targets after that.
WHO else are on their agenda.JMO, but the most likely target now will be the alcohol industry,
again, with the sex/porno industry running a close second. Two "health costly" activities...(cough, cough)
Think about it.I have and I do..quite often.

Anything that offends another human being! That's exactly where we're headed. People had better wake up and realize it. I smoke but most of my friends do not. Our state just voted for a state-wide smoking ban in most public places. All my non-smoking friends think it's great. I'm just waiting for the "communist" control freaks of the government to go after something they DO care about, for instance, their right to read the bible in eyesight of someone else. THEN it would be a different story. And another suggestion, everyone had better build a secret cellar and stock up on booze....they'll be after that next!
It strikes me so ironic, we have soldiers dying everday in the middle east in an effort to help those people become a free society and enjoy freedom of choice, speach, etc. and our LEGAL rights are being stepped upon each and every day! Just think about it.....it should strike fear in the hearts of every American!
