Their personal bias on this issue blinds them to the greater, and most important issue of private property rights.

That blindness will be the destruction of this once great Republic.

No one who supports the government taking of rights can call themselves a conservative.

Conservatives who dislike cigarette smoke have 3 choices of how to handle the situation:

1. Talk to the owner of their favorite establishments about it;
2. Seek out places that do not permit smoking;
3. Open their own establishments.

Only liberals see government mandate as the way to go....when it comes to smoking there are an awful lot of closet liberals on Free Republic

Once again, you've hit the proverbial nail on the head, Gabz.

when it comes to smoking there are an awful lot of closet liberals on Free Republic

Very well stated! If they were truly conservative they would understand that the OWNER of the property should have the final say on whether or not it's a smoking or non-smoking establishment.
