“Liberals and leftist tyrants hate freedom”

Now now....smoking/vaping is not freedom, and rules against smoking/vaping is not tyranny.

If you want to smoke, then just do it. That is freedom. If you do it around folks who don’t want you to because it bothers them and they toss you out of some place - that, too is freedom.

If you want to light up in a room and expect to be protected - THAT is tyranny.

I think you smokers have it backwards. If you are afraid of breaking the rules, then you are your own problem.

Your post makes little sense.

I once went into a restaurant in Kansas. It had two sections, one nonsmoking and another smoking.
The two sections were separate rooms. I walked through the nonsmoking section to get to the door of the smoking section. The smoking section had a ventilation system independent of any other part of the restaurant.

The place wasn’t crowded, only 6 or 8 people in the nonsmoking section. There were about 16 or so people in the smoking section.

My food had just arrived when a woman sat down and immediately began bitching and complaining about the smoke and smokers.
She continued to complain the entire time I was there.

You remind me of that woman.

Have a nice day.

Than you support a bar being able to put a sign on the door saying “We Allow Smoking in This Establishment”? Then you are free to enter or not of your own choice.

“I think you smokers have it backwards.”

Ahh, the twisting and turning of words to suit your convenient conservatism.

The problem is not any “rule” set by the property owner regarding tobacco use. The problem is that the government DICTATED what rules the owner of private property is to enforce.

That certainly IS tyranny and you WILL reap the rewards of supporting it as the homofascists use these tools to attack churches.
