Of course you don't, you're a former smoker. You are not a bar or restaurant owner whose business is being decimated. I've got way too many friends in the hospitality industry to not know what this is doing to them. And I have been in this battle far too long to even begin to think the anti-smokers ar doing this for any other reason than money.
But, local communities would still have the right to pass local ordinances that reflect the values of local citizens. That way, there would be a place for everyone in America that suits the tastes, lifestyles and moral codes of the wide variety of individuals who make up this country.
I can 95% agree with you on that. The problem with these smoking ban ordinances is that the highly Paid (smoker-funded) anti organizations come into a town or city or county or state and proclaim how such bans will do wonders for business and health. In other words they lie - but because they have so much money, people that know better, such as business owners from jurisdictions where these things have passed don't have a snowballs chance in Hades to get their voice heard.
The total smoking ban in Delaware has been a boon to business, in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The only businesses that have profitted from the ban in Delaware are the fraternal and veteran's organizations, they are exempt and their membership numbers have skyrocketed.
