Smoking isn't free speech! And the Amendment says "Congress shall make no law...", not "There shall be no impendiment to..."

While I would like to agree with Halfpenny, I think that the arguments he uses are disingenous.
To me it should be just like any other health regulation. It shouldn't be allowed to be viewed as a health issue unless there is a overwhelming need and proven scientifically by a majority of reputable scientific minds that ETS is the hazard to health that the antis scream it is.
I think that there may be a Constitutional argument against the regulation of smoking in a privately owned business, I don't think that Halfpenny has hit the right argument yet.
