BTW, "second hand smoke" isn't all second hand. It includes that which is filtered by another's lungs and that which goes into the air, directly.
Did you bother to read the article at the link I provided? Did you understand what you were reading? Your continued use of the phrase "poisoning one's very air" suggests otherwise.
What part of the terms "private property" or "private business" do you not get? Why can't a bar or restaurant just decide for themselves if they will allow smoking or not? Why should your health problem limit my freedom?
I am willing to cut people like you and Huckabee some slack because they have been lied to and brainwashed by the anti-smoking zealots. However, your continued denial when presented with the facts is very telling. You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
Your positions on freedom and private property rights are not conservative. I get the feeling that you and many others backing Huckabee on this forum are anti-smoking zealots that want Huckabee elected to push your agenda.
No, I didn’t read the article. I can see that smoke comes from both ends of the cigarette.
It is a harful and foolish addiction. We do not have to bend over backwards for those unfortunate ones who engage in it, while on the job.
Period.
