I'm not a smoker but I am getting angry at smoking bans. They're turning America into a big mental institution's cafeteria.
Property & socializing circles belong to whoever makes the rule of these, and in this sense I see a sort of property takeover & a social holocaust waged on smokers by city councils accross the nation.
All these are Pharisean rules which can derail easily in any other inane cases of behaviors deemed "unsafe". I wonder how many of those laundering hypocrites in city counsils are just too fat or too old to do their jobs safely without it affecting us. There should be a rule against that (sarcasm)
The other thing is that owners should not have to be licensed this way as nurses. Taking the responsibility of smoking & putting it on the owner's shoulder smacks of irresponsability & thus racism.
Many of us totally agree with you. This should be left up to the private business owner and his patrons.
I bet a lot of people today hesitate before buying property. What with imminent domain and the City Councils going in to tell them how to run it. Totally asinine.
