if there was no ban, i would simply find somewhere else to make extra $.
when i used to go to bars and come home reeking of smoke due to other people i didn't like it but i knew it was my own personal choice to go to bars. i could just as easily stay away if i had wanted to.
but the fact is that the ban is in place and it makes my life easier. the smokers go outside and then come back inside and have stopped complaining. if people around here want to give me the old, "this is the first step to gov't control, blah blah, you're all just sheep, blah..." then fine. go ahead. but i am making easy money and i'm happier. oh, and i quit smoking.
you guys should be more worried about the price of smokes. outrageous!
“but the fact is that the ban is in place and it makes my life easier.”
It is sheep like you that have handed the tools to the government to regulate the menu of certain restaurants and their ability to serve some undesirables. Your attitude of complacence is more dangerous than Hillary’s socialist activism, because it is also more common.
Won’t it make everyone’s lives easier when we get “free” healthcare? Never mind that the scope of government infringement personal liberties is greatly expanded.
