This is a definite strike against this candidate for me. This is one position Huckabee should definitely reconsider.

As of approximately 3-6 months ago, that phone number has received over 30,000 calls (reported by the Ohio Department of Health in the news).
You need to post that number in a few places - “Please call for a good time...” LOL
I understand what you are saying, however, smoking bans should be left up to the private bar/restaurant owner. Too many businesses have gone out of business due to the nannys. Once the smokers have been successfully defeated and outed, the same nannys will go after beer and liquor sales...........
FWIW, check out the MADD sites, they are making headway.......

Nonsense. States can and should ban smoking if their citizens believe it to be a nuisance that should be regulated. Poll after poll, and vote after vote show that conservatives believe in regulating cigarettes.
CRAP.
Sad Dat,,,It’s just one more bite out of our Liberty,,,
It’s no longer what “WE” want it’s what the “state” wants,,,
At my age the “COMMIE SOB” stamp comes out on this krap...
Yeah but some call it tobacco.
Don’t smoke!
Hes convinced that second hand smoke kills. He became an ideologue like algore and hitlery ready to terrorize one segment of the population nationwide for the benefit of all. Dangerous mindset!
In virtually every community that has left smoking bans up to the electorate, those who did not care one way or the other never voted, and the only ones who did vote the nazi way only totaled approximately of 24% of the population but because they outnumberd the opposition, they won the day. Isn't the democratic way wonderful? Some people call it Tyranny of the minority........;
...And if citizens believe, and if put to a vote, Whee the People will have to repaint his house and tell his daughter she can't date a black man........
Its called private property rights my man, something you are not familiar with.........
That being said, please address my other comment regarding the upcoming attempt to ban alcohol once the evil smokers have been eliminated. Or is that ok with you too????????
Gosh, the polls I read say that black people should not be allowed to vote........
Guess that means that if put to a vote and a majority of the voters feel that blacks should not vote then that determines that doesn't it???????????????
Will of the people or will of the minority who voted?
I bow before your rights and your addiction. I will serve your needs and you alone. You are my master. You addiction is now my addiction and I grovel at the feet of your needs.
Go Fred...yep me too. Its going to be nice to have a smoker in the White House. Yep WEEEEEE Fred smokes!
Well, he’ll get the fascist vote.
Wheee, either act like an adult or don’t post.
And if you love his views on smoking (before he left office he signed a law making it illegal to smoke in one’s own car if a minor is riding w/you) then you’ll love his views on weight control (gleefully signed a law requiring schools to measure a student’s BMI and record that figure on the child’s report card).
I liked him better when he was chubby; before he became a nanny.
Yes, I’ve watched him over the years, and I entirely agree with you.
Thanks Lady...your right he is a turd!

No, they are not. They are private places of public accomodation, which is a VERY different thing.
