These will NEVER stop burning in DC.

Here is a thumbs-down to the Smokefree D.C. do-gooders and the D.C. Council, which voted 11-1 in favor of a smoking ban that begins next year.
I am thinking of starting a Do-Gooder-free D.C. because of the scientifically proven study that shows freedom-hating do-gooders cause high blood pressure in others.
There is nothing like a smug, arrogant, condescending know-it-all to get the eyes rolling up in the back of your head. The city, unfortunately, is awash in this character type.
These self-important nitwits seem to think they know what is best for the masses and then pat themselves on the head after they have achieved their mission.
"It is a great day for everyone who works in or patronizes a bar or restaurant in the District of Columbia," said one of the co-founders of the nut-job group after 11 morally superior council members imposed legislation that mocks the celebrated individual liberties of a nation.
Sorry. It did not come across as a great day. It came across as just another amusing day in the bluest of blue precincts.
Really, I would prefer to have a Carbon Monoxide-Free D.C.
Or a Rat-Free D.C.
Or a Gang-Free D.C.
Or a Lead-Free D.C.
Or a Cholesterol-Free D.C.
Or a Body Odor-Free D.C.
Or an Ice Cream-Free D.C.
Or a Starbucks-Free D.C.
I can think of all kinds of practices and things that could be eliminated before I would be concerned with a smoky bar stuffed with drunks at midnight.
I would argue it is the right of the smoking town drunk to be a smoking town drunk, just as it is the right of servers to work in an establishment that caters to smoking town drunks.

You do realize that there is a difference between a ban and making something illegal, right?
FWIW, all the restaurants I have been in here in SE Michigan have smoking sections which successfully accomodate smokers with excellent ventilation systems. I have NEVER been able to detect smoke in the non smoking sections.
But yet you Fers are never satisfied. Got news for you sport, your favorite bar that ultimately succumbs to a smoking ban will be destined to going out of business.
For some reason I suspect that you really don't care because it doesn't concern you. You will merely try to find another bar to drop into once in a while not really giving a ratsass for the neighborhood bars that will also go out of business and that you would never ever think of dropping into.
Kinda like Democraps and their love of flyover country.........Not!
Yeah, I know, but I can dream, can't I? LOL
Cigarette smoke contains about 4,000 chemical agents, including over 60 carcinogens (8). In addition, many of these substances, such as carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic, and lead, are poisonous and toxic to the human body. Nicotine is a drug that is naturally present in the tobacco plant and is primarily responsible for a person’s addiction to tobacco products, including cigarettes. During smoking, nicotine is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and travels to the brain in a matter of seconds. Nicotine causes addiction to cigarettes and other tobacco products that is similar to the addiction produced by using heroin and cocaine (9).

I nailed it and you know it. Thus your childish response in hopes of evading honesty.
Playing games are we?

Yes, that's the way it is now.

Taxpayer-sponsored propaganda. You just don't like the smell of tobacco smoke.
There's over a thousand things that are harmful to ingest.
My initial [post at 49 stands.
No one is forcing you to enter any business. You chose to enter or not enter of your own free will. No one initiates force/harm against you to enter a business -- you are not kidnapped and forced to enter any business.
You support initiating force/harm on people that are minding their own business -- they forced no one into their business. Every person entered of their own free will/choice.
Free association. The right to associate with whomever you chose so long as they too agree to associate with you.
You support initiating harm/force against innocent people.
You are one of two things:
1) Ignorant.
2) A parasite.
Which are you? You chose.
The smell of dreadful, stinky perfume makes me ill. Let's forbid the wearing of stinky perfume in public places.
