am completely opposed to government imposed smoking bans. However, when private companies, such as Lowe's and Hasbro, want to ban smoking on their premises, I completely support them.

It is their company, their property. No one is entitled to a job with those companies. If a person can't abide by the rules set up by the company for workplace conduct, they need to find employment elsewhere.

I agree completely. It is private property. The wishes of the property owner must be respected. I don't allow smoking in my home, and this is little different.

So, if this is a "private business" and not state owned, then you also agree that restaurants are "private businesses" and not state owned, therefore, the state should not FORCE smoking bans on the privately owned restaurant. Correct? It should be left up to the OWNER and not the state!
