I recently read your Second Hand Smoke screed on Free Republic. com. Perhaps you'd like to see that the country at large considers you an anti-property rights facsist.
Bill Aims to Ban Workplace Smoking
If it's not enough for you to make up statistics out of whole cloth, perhaps you'd take the time to read that the EPA's Second Hand Smoke report has been thrown out of court because,
"EPA publicly committed to a conclusion before research had begun; excluded industry by violating the Act's procedural requirements; adjusted established procedure and scientific norms to validate the Agency's public conclusion, and aggressively utilized the Act's authority to disseminate findings to establish a de facto regulatory scheme intended to restrict Plaintiffs' products and to influence public opinion."
Or perhaps you've never heard of the Oak Ridge National Lab study which found Second Hand Smoke virtually harmless:
ORNL finds second hand smoke less harmful than thought
Has it ever occured to any of you health Nazis that if it takes 30 to 50 years for an actual smoker to get sick (if he/she is one of the 12% of smokers who do get sick, that is), then it is impossible for someone to get sick from second hand smoke?
You are the typical hack politician, grandstanding and presenting this as a health issue, when in reality this is a property rights issue and you are stripping adult business owners and their adult customers of their ability to make a free choice.
I bet you believe in choice when it come to abortion even though by your name I judge you to be a Catholic. 'Splain that one.
Even you county hacks should be forced to spend some time reading the Constitution and seeing just what is governments business and what isn't, but you're to busy grandstanding for votes and mouthing these meaningless platitudes to your sheep-like constituents.
Thanks for the time,
