Nice to see someone is standing up against that RINO Pataki and his RINO cronies. Hope they win!

I doubt if the bar owners will win as long as the junk science about the dangers of second hand smoke still stands.

The tobacco companies caved in and they had the money to fight this nonsense so who else will do it?

The sweet smell of success? Not having to inhale someone else's filthy addiction!

But Herr Bloomberg and his Nazi supporters insist on controlling what you breath, what you earn and what you eat. How dare anyone oppose this. Where's Joe Goebbels when you need him to straighten these infidels out?

If the guvmint wants smoke-free bars and restaurants, why don't they give a tax break or a discount on the liquor license fees for establishments that want to be smoke free. Then the non-smoking public can have their places and the smokers can have theirs.

I, for the life of me, do not understand the smoking ban. I quit smoking about six months ago, the smell of smoke now can make be feel sick to my stomach. I can run up the stairs to my 3rd story apt and not feel winded, and I fell healthier (not sure if that's a word). But overall it doesn't matter how I feel, bar owners made an investment into a business, they own the property and they should be able to allow a legal substance to be consumed on their property.

Any conservative or capitalist that thinks smoking bans are legal, justified or are right are not conservatives or capitalist. I ask you, where do you stop this slippery slope? What's next Big Mac's, the Atkins diet, going out is the cold with out your coat on? How about running with scissors, can we still do this, or should this be banned because it may hurt someone. If you fascist a$$h0les think people should have the opportunity to go into a smoke free establishment go open up your own non-smoking place where you can all sit around in bubbles eating carrots and lettuce trying to pat each other on the back on how "good you made the world" while trying not to lose your place when reading "It takes a Village". Freaking idiots!

I hope they win too.

      Should I be surprised how many posters on this thread do not believe in a free market system or in property rights?

I hope the bar owners win. I don't smoke, hate the smell of it. But I hate government meddling and nannying in private business and property ten thousand times more. So, you go bar owners!!!
