What about the employees?

What about them?

Has the 13th Amendment been rescinded?

The service industry is notoriously cutthroat. No entrepreneur is going to go smoke free if he thinks it could cost him customers.

As a result, the vast majority will choose to allow smoking. Employees would have to choose between working in a potentially hazardous environment or changing their means of making a living.

Before you answer, put yourself in their shoes. Imagine that you are given a choice between a potential risk to your health or changing careers. Think about all that would mean to you before throwing out a flippant answer.

I am torn on this one. I could care less if you smoke your brains out and I believe government has no place controlling what you do to yourself. But should government get involved when you start affecting others?
