All the lies in the world won't stop the truth from prevailing. It is not your God given right to blow poisonous fumes anywhere near me. Blow all the smoke you want, 2/3 of Ohio voters say enough already.
You want to worry about your freedom going away?
You better start thinking about what freedoms you are entitled to and will fight for. Lighting a poisonous bonfire in front of your face and exhaling the fumes in my airspace ain't one of'em.
Really? Do you have a "right" to drive your car around in public? Doesn't it emit poisonous fumes? If you don't like smoking in a business, why don't you just not patronize it? There are many non-smoking options for you to choose from. You don't have the slightest clue about freedom. There are a lot of things that you may enjoy that I personally don't like, but it's still wrong to vote away your right to enjoy them in peace.
The fact is "bad law is bad law", and this law is just that. Having a sign at every public location with a phone number to report violations is over the top. You can have the number for reporting violations, but you don't have to have it posted everywhere. Citizens should treat each other respectfully. This is nothing but Nazi-Germany.
This morning, I went to pay for my gas at a place that was totally outdoors. There was sign on the window saying, "Bathroom Breack -- Be Right Back." It turns out that the manager was in his car having a smoke with I was outside in frigid weather for five minutes waiting for him to return so that I could pay for may gas and leave.
Read the other posts that I have made here. If you can't see that this law is a little extreme and needs amending, I don't know what to say to you.
"Side not with the multitude for they are always wrong."
LOL, someone needs a hug this morning. What lies? What truth? Tell you what, I promise not to smoke in your presence if you promise not to inhale in mine.
You don't own or control any airspace, except by moving out of any airspace you find objectionable.
Your habit's next, bucko. And you paved the road for them to do it.
Albert Knew...
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."
Albert Einstein, "My First Impression of the U.S.A.", 1921
Honest Abe
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), U.S. President.
