If this is true then why is the GOVERNMENT doing the banning in PRIVATE businesses?
Do you think that the "government" gets up in the morning and brainstorms ideas to stick it to smokers? It is other citizens who are driving their political leaders to give them a rest from all of the smoke in various establishments. And, non-smokers have as much right to a smoke-free environment when the establishment is open to the general public. Non-smokers exist too.
