" . . . should be allowed . . . "

As an aside, there is something about the use of that phrase that just doesn't rub well. I know what it is, as do all free men, but will let it pass for now.

As to your smoking example, I happen to agree.
A private enterprise such as a hotel, bar, or restaurant, >>>should be allowed<<< to set their own rules ----

"I know what it is, as do all free men, but will let it pass for now."

Let's not. What is it about "should be allowed" that "just doesn't rub well".

For crying out loud, you're the one who said, "a proprietor should have the choice of whether or not to allow smoking or non-smoking".

Or maybe you're saying that he should have the choice, but only when it comes to smoking? That "fascism" (your word) in other areas of the proprietor's business is OK with you as long as it doesn't regulate smoking?
