Can you even feel the freedoms you used to have just slipping away ?

You mean the freedom to pollute the air with your toxic smoke?

I know this question was not addressed to me, but as long as you aren't forced to breathe that air, why is it your concern?

That's the one. Sorta like your freedom to be somewhere else.

If the owner of a bar doesn't mind people smoking therein, why should that be a concern of yours?

Are you a smoker?

you know what bud...wait till ice cream, popcorn...hell even coffee is regulated because socialists like you believe "It's for the children" , or, "I'm offended". You will be one of the first I beat the shit out of as soon as you bitch about it. Trust me on that...and I cant wait for that day!!!

Sorry to butt in, but the anti-smoking nazis are lame. Are you a member of the GreenPeace folks who believe cow farts cause global warming?

To avoid all toxic gasses, dial 1-800-INTEL and ask them for the going rate to live in one of their clean rooms.

Shaking hands carries the flu virus, and sun rays causes skin cancer.

Your own breath is toxic. Breathe in and out of a plastic bag and see how long you can take it.

Dear professional victim: Perhaps you're unaware of this document.

Refer to it next time someone tries to shanghai you and force you into an establishment that allows smoking.

Can't you come up with anything better than that?
No-one advocates smoking ANYTIME,ANYWHERE. We're just tired of the B.S.

All we advocate is;
1. The right of business owners to choose to allow smoking or not;
2.No governmental intrusion into our homes
3.Protect freedom of choice.

It sounds to me like you don't like smoke. Fine, it is your business. There are many non-smoking establishments, and most places are already smoke-free. And yes, taking away my freedom to choose IS freedom slipping away.

So, let me get this straight. Your rights trump mine.
That's not freedom, it's mob rule.

the president of the American Council on Science and Health, who vehemently opposes smoking, wrote, "There is no evidence that any New Yorker — patron or employee — has ever died as a result of exposure to smoke in a bar or restaurant." Dr. Richard Doll, the scientist who first linked active smoking to lung cancer, said in a 2001 radio interview, "The effects of other people smoking in my presence is so small it doesn't worry me."

Claims of secondhand smoke risks don't pass science test
