If a smoker decides to turn to junk food as an alternative to smoking then that is his choice. It would not be a choice that I would make, however it is still an individual choice.

I am not twisting this into a constitutional issue, it already is a private property issue and it will remain a private property issue.

No it is not, when one obtains a license to operate business in any city, it falls under health codes.

I wonder how many people used this arguement when the first health rules and inspectors went out to prevent the spread of disease in all of the licensed food establishments.

The best thing here would be to have all of this put to a nationwide vote and let the majority rule on it. Smokers would erve themselves best by creating a referendum.

Afterall that is a true test in a democracy.
