Not one person was forced to breathe secondhand smoke. Not a single one.

But, but, but....they are supposed t be able to go where ever they want without being offended.....

Bar and restaurant workers didn't have to seek employment in an establishment that allowed smoking.

You are introducing fact here, only emothion is permitted.

Customers did not have to patronize businesses that allowed smoking.

see above

Why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp?

Selfishness.

Why do you have to run whining and crying to the nanny state every time you see something you don't like?

Because it is easier.....they do not have to take responsibility for themselves.

Here's one the great statements defending individual property rights -

"The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter--but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement."

William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, in a 1763 speech to the House of Lords
