You know what really gets to me?
The anti-smokers who are so eager to push these bans ~never~ put their money where their mouth is and provide the business that is lost by their silly laws.
Bars feel the worst of the hit. Their regulars (most who smoke) disappear and nary a non-smoker shows up to fill that spot at the bar.
Soon after, the bar closes its doors forever - jobs are lost, owners are heartbroken and yet the antis think ~this~ is a job well done?
Stuck on stupid.
Instead of opening a smoke-free bar (if they believe it is such a wonderful idea), they force other people to accomodate them - and then they don't even go!

Proof that the weakest in our society turn to government guns to enforce their preferences. If they had any fortitude what so ever, they would risk their own capital and sweat to open a business. Of course, that would mean that they prefer a capitalist society over a socialist one.
The sad part is the number of freepers that prefer the socialist dictation of the use of private property.
