How about when it affects a private business owner to the fact that he is forced to close. Are you proud of that as well?
This should be left up to the business owner and his patrons and not big government and people like you.
I never cease to be amazed at how smokers consider this ban an infringement on their rights. Nobody is saying they can't smoke and I would never support such a thing. They just can't do it where it would affect others.
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. Smoking bans are not an infringement on the rights of smokers, but rather an infringement on the rights of property owners.
Nobody is saying they can't smoke and I would never support such a thing.
But you admit to being willing to vote to strip the property owner of that right and the right to choose if he wishes to permit others to engage in the right on his priate property.
Its a religion to them, you can't argue with them. Its just like gay marriage.. gays say their rights are being infringed because they can't marry... which is of course not true... they are free to marry, just hast to be to a member of the opposite sex... but they will never accept that... just as smokers will never accept that saying you can't smoke here is not the same as you can't smoke at all.
I think it just shows how addicted they are to the things that they are unable to recognize this.
I don't see it as an infringement on my, read a smoker's, rights.
I see it as the use of junk science, scare tactics, and outright lies to take away the rights of a property/business owner.
Do you really hate smoke so much that you would take away the right to allow the use of a legal commodity. A commodity that in no way has been proven to harm anyone other than the one that uses it or someone with a pre-existing medical condition?

Well said. I hate washing my hair and putting on perfume only to have it all overpowered and ruined by cigarette smoke.
