“Just as stop signs are built to keep all people safe, so were smoking restrictions were put in place. Would’ve been nice if people would take turns at intersections - or not light up in public areas...but people don’t.”
I think I see the crux of the problem for you. You are confusing publicly owned property (government roads) with private property that has open invitations to the public. I am fine with government dictation of tobacco use on publicly owned property. I am not fine with government dictation of tobacco use on privately owned property that has open invitations for putlic access. I am fine with the owner of the property banning the use of tobacco.
Are you fine with letting the owner of the property make the decision?
Gotta go, have a good weekend.
Absolutely.
You have great weekend too..
