"The reasoning for this law was that workers at these establisments have no choice but inhale the SHS, well, why didn't they just make it mandatory that every establishment furnish gas masks or chem suits for the employees who wish to wear them?"
And where does it state that you are required by gunpoint (the force of law, fyi) to WORK at an employer that let's his or her employees smoke? I was not aware that if I hired three people for my company that I was doing that at gunpoint. But I will give them some old gas masks from my military days should the need arise. These anti-smoking threads, what few I've read and participated in, illustrate that the "individual" died in 1988. So be it. Don't bother me then for your support when the socialists require your children to sing the "Internationale" or the UN Anthem in your schools. I fought to defend America. Not the 21st century version of 1984. This is bs and if you think you can impose your will on me, come to my front door and say it to my face. It's already happening in California. The line is about to be drawn. AND I SINCERELY HOPE YOU ANTIFREEDOM ANTI SMOKING NAZIS ENJOY IT WHEN THE TOBACCO COMPANIES GO BANKRUPT AND YOUR LOCAL TAXES SKYROCKET. I certainly will smile quite broadly and enjoy watching this board's so called "freedom lovers" bitch and moan about $2.50 per gallon gas and property taxes 500% higher because you won the battle of putting the tobacco companies into banktruptcy and lost the war because those multi-billion dollar settlements are voided.
SheLion, feel free to jump ugly in on this.

If tobacco is such a killer, why has it been a legal commodity for hundreds of years? Why hasn't it been pulled from the market long before this?
I grew up in a steel mill town, and the air stunk from the pipes. But we didn't go on a rampage to shut them down, (the government saw to that, and put thousands of people out of work). The steel mills put money in people's wallets and food on the tables.
People who don't like other people who use a legal commodity, should just hang out with like-minded people and not be around adults who choose to smoke. How hard can this be? Why do we have so many people who want to "rule the world?"
