"The problem is, the anti-smoking control freaks simply wish to impose their will upon the rest of the population without regards to their personal rights. "

No Rabid, the problem is that people no longer give a darn about how others feel. We live in a society in which Number One is uppermost and immediate, personal gratification is most important to the individual.

You folks carry on, I am going to take a shower.

Oh my goodness!! This is TOO funny coming from an "anti-smoking everywhere that he wants to go" proponent! ROFLMAO!!!! Who is so worried about personal gratification that they can't pass up one restaurant in favor of another that doesn't allow smoking??? Oh, but this IS RICH!!!! LOLLOLOLOLOL

I agree. Except where you think the smokers don't give a damn about how others feel, I feel the protesting non-smokers don't give a damn about how others feel. See how it goes both ways?

Of course, another way to look at it is the protesting non-smokers want everything catered to their personal preference, and if the state should be used to implement it, so be it. This is why I see the protesting non-smokers as bullies. And I hate bullies.
