Just so happens I read it long before your post. I am very well informed on asthma and all the research as to the root cause. I can also tell this is a cheerleading thread. I personally don't care if you smoke. I also don't care if you ride a motorcycle without a helmet. Just don't assume you have the right to smoke when it infringes on my right not to be exposed if I don't want to. Your choice, my choice. And don't tell me that if I don't want to be exposed to simply go away. I turn that argument around. When your right conflicts with my right, who arbitrates?

Just hold the phone!  If you don't want to be around smokers, do not go to a restaurant or bar that has a lot of them.  Find a place where there isn't a lot of smokers.

Why would you want more government intervention, when these decisions should be left up to the business owner and his patrons.  NOT nanny government!

"Cheerleading thread?" hehe!  Stick around.  We have had hundreds of these in Free Republic over the years.  :)

And if you don't want to be around the elements of the human race, stay home!
