What right do smokers have to stink up the hair and clothing, and to irritate the eyes and respiratory passages of non-smokers? Talk about violating someone's property.

*sigh*

Here's the deal. If I own a restaurant, that means I have all the property rights. That, in turn, means I can choose which legal activities I allow on my property. If I choose to allow smoking, that is my right even if I don't smoke.

And it is your right to not come in to my restaurant.

YOU AS A NON-SMOKER DO NOT HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN I DO AS A PROPERTY OWNER, YOU FRICKING NAZI.

That's right, and now smoking is going to be illegal in bars and restaurants.

Smokers are too late to the property rights argument.

Where were they when ADA was forced upon all restaurant owners? Silent....
