A restaurant owner hires a hindu waiter. The waiter doesn't like having to serve beef to the patrons. The owner should have to stop serving beef?

Poor analogy. The waiter knew what the resturant offers before he applied for the job. Serving beef, although morally offensive to the Hindu; is not linked to lung cancer. A better analogy is the person who applies for work at an office. The some co-worker smokes, and the person is forced to deal with the 2nd hand smoke. It's not unreasonable to expect to breathe clean air.

Show me the definitive scientific link, that has not been debunked, between ETS and lung cancer. Then these lying anti-smokers might have a point.

The band members knew that the owners allowed smoking before they took the job also.

No it's not. When the sign on the door says "smoking allowed", you have no expectation. It's not unreasonable for you to depart.

What is unreasonable is for you to assert some right which does not exist.

Excuse me, it's a perfect anology, wait staff also know if smoking is allowed.

Let the BUSINESS decide. If I don't want to breathe smoke air, I don't have to take that job by that PRIVATE company.

If I'm a customer that doesn't want to breake smoke air, I don't go to that PRIVATE business.

But no, the public health fascists(they are TRUE fascists, gun grabbers as well) and the anti-smoking gestapo always run to the Jack Boots in governemnt.
