And its the government reponsibility and within their authority to do something about this?
And I can tell you for a fact that in my home town that I spoke of, no one is from out of town, and the ones who are are there to visit family and friends since they moved away. The "their from out of town" argument is a joke.
I detest the nasty smell when I'm trying to enjoy my meal.
Which is why, in our wonderful capitalist society you are free to choose among competitors. Go to the non smoking establishment vs the smoking establishment. If there are no non-smoking establishments available or to your liking, eat elswhere. Such as at home, or in your office.
I consider this issue to be a private property rights issue, not a smoker vs. non-smoker issue. Just as you can ban guests from smoking in your home, a business owner should decided if smoking is or is not allowed in his establishment.
The wreck that used to be the great City of Dallas, Texas is now being run by libs, and they used POWER to ban smoking in all restaurants.
For some reason whatsoever, I have not spent my sales tax money on the restaurant trade there.
What is going on in this Country now is unbelievable including politcal correctness, and the fact that there is nobody left to pick on except smokers.
Exactly!
