My post 298: I'm not a smoker, but I grew up with smokers. When I moved to California and found myself in public areas that were smoke-free, I have to tell you it was so much better. Now, when I'm in another State or somewhere that allows smoking, I literally get ill and sometimes that headachey feeling lasts for a day or so, not to mention the smell on the clothes, etc. It just seems like a huge imposition on those who don't smoke. Of course, if I smoked, I'd feel differently. My brother and sister-in-law smoke way too much and I'm actually sad for them that they can't forego smoking for any period of time and have to excuse themselves to walk outside to smoke. Addiction is a very sad thing.

Go on, what's your beef?

"It just seems like a huge imposition on those who don't smoke............."

......to allow private property owners to make the decision to allow smoking. After all, "When I moved to California and found myself in public areas that were smoke-free, I have to tell you it was so much better."

Now, do you support the government bans of smoking on private property?
