Too many Freepers can't appreciate the difference between an inherently intrusive activity like smoking and a non-intrusive one like over-eating at a buffet.

Too many Freepers can't appreciate the difference between an inherently intrusive activity like smoking and a non-intrusive one like over-eating at a buffet.

Some of us appreciate the difference, but still fail to see any need for government regulation. Can you appreciate that difference?

You want to talk "intrusive"? Let's talk about government intrusion on the free market with laws like these.

Some of us -- even this non-smoker who hates the smell of cigarette smoke -- think the mere suggestion of anything resembling any sort of "right" to a smoke-free restaurant dining experience is absolutely ludicrous, bordering on nanny-state insanity.
