The position is not about smoking. It is about the government entity in the USA acting in the same manor as did the Nazi government. These people own their restaurant and stores. They can allow people to smoke the legal products on their premises if they want to. Get it? Legal products! It smacks of Nazi-like behavior wherever these bans are allowed to exist.

Legal products!

Quasi-legal, at this point.

If you walk into a premises licensed to serve beer but not hard liquor, and break out your bottle of whiskey - a legal product - and start drinking it, the premises has always stood to lose its beer license. If you walk into a strip club in a community where beer and spirits cannot be sold in an adult entertainment establishment and break out your own can of beer, then the establishment is subject to losing its license. In each instance, the product was legally possessed - and this has long been the state of affairs all over the country in terms of how the violations were dealt with.

It isn't a Nazi problem.

I don't smoke, I work part time in a bar, and I've been the safety manager for two employers (in charge of, among other things, chemical exposure guidelines) and served on the safety committee for the two others.

I pretty much agree with SheLion's position on this issue.
