Sorry you still can’t comprehend it.

The smokers are the ones who make it miserable for others. It isn’t the other way around. Non-smokers don’t do something that impacts the other party. They can’t simply stop breathing for an hour and a half. Smokers can stop smoking for an hour and a half.

You flip it upside down when you state that non-smokers are the gulity party just because they object to the folks that do take actions to offend others.

You’ve got it so bass akwards that it’s hillarious.

I comprehend it quite well. You want the government to impose your views on others and limit the freedom of choice of both the customer and private business owner.

The smokers are the ones who make it miserable for others. It isn’t the other way around. Non-smokers don’t do something that impacts the other party. They can’t simply stop breathing for an hour and a half. Smokers can stop smoking for an hour and a half.

Problem solved. Why not allow the individual business owner to decide on whether he will ban smoking or not and allow the customer to decide what business he will patronize? Why must the government mandate it? Non-smokers don't have to patronize businesses that allow smoking. Isn't that fair? FYI: As a non-smoker, I have no problem going to places that allow smoking.

You flip it upside down when you state that non-smokers are the gulity party just because they object to the folks that do take actions to offend others.

I am not ascribing guilt to anyone. Smoking is not illegal in the US. Tobacco is a legal substance. Let smokers and non-smokers and business owners make up their own minds. Why not allow the marketplace to decide?
