"Let business owners decide what they want to "inflict" on others. Let others decide whether or not they want to patronize those businesses. Simple. Easy. No governmental involvement."

Interesting idea. So you'd be willing to go into a restaurant not knowing whether the owner bothered to refrigerate the meat the night before, or whether he hired workers who had not been checked for communicable diseases that can be passed along by handling food, or whether he turned the heat up enough in his dishwasher to kill bacteria from the previous eater? Sometimes these things don't work right even with government involvement, but without it I can guarantee you eating out would be a major adventure.

Food preparation is under the FDA Regulations. Tobacco, still today, is not.
