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.

You misconstrued what I said. Business owners have property rights that include who may access the property and what activates are allowed on their property. If a business owner doesn't want people to smoke on their property then the customer must abide the property owner's rights. There is no such thing as smokers rights than there are Christian rights, or female rights or Hispanic rights or black rights etc. Inalienable rights do not differentiate. You do -- erroneously.

Filing a lawsuit against the government is easy, more so for the smaller governments implementing these regulations.

I assume you intentionally misconstrued what I wrote: :"I doubt there has ever been a successful "slam dunk" lawsuit against the government." Of course it's easy to file a lawsuit against anybody and even easy to go to court. Being successful is not, especially against the government.

You shot your credibility by your intentional misconstruing of what I said.
