Zon: People that support government forced smoking bans violate the rights of people that chose to allow smokers on their property. That they enlist government agents to do their muscle/dirty work is besides the point that they chose to violate another man's rights.4

If that's the case, where's the lawsuit? It should be a slam dunk case if what you say is true.

I suppose you'll pretend you didn't read the bold sentence above. I doubt there has ever been a successful "slam dunk" lawsuit against the government. When you enlist the full force of government to do your dirty work against people you gain an unfair advantage. That's why you enlist the government to do what you could never do on your own or you would be sued in a New York minute.

Environazis also enlist the full force of government to violate private property rights. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it.

You're claiming that smoking in a business is a right. I'm saying it isn't.

Filing a lawsuit against the government is easy, more so for the smaller governments implementing these regulations. Smokers claiming to be helpless victims incapable of fighting the issue in the courts is laughable.
