I've honestly never seen a vigorous challenge to smoking bans. I have seen vigorous challenges to religious freedoms; Hobby Lobby and Citizens United are pretty clear indications that your constitutional rights do not end when you purchase a business license.
“I’ve honestly never seen a vigorous challenge to smoking bans.”
Private property is private property. Period. Many of us on FR vigourously defended it, even many that hate the smell of tobacco smoke. However, the convenient conservative righteous right partnered with the nanny state leftists and private property was demolished.
That eliminated the ability of the property owner to cater to his chosen customer, in that case it was smoker vs non-smoker. The state forced a business owner to cater to the government preferred class of non-smokers. In this case it is gay vs straight, now the state is forcing a business to cater to their now preferred gay market.
Many of the rightous celebrated the removal of private property rights then, now they can’t shed tears when it is being used against them.
Either we have private property rights or we don’t. Don’t worry tho, it will get much worse before many see the light.
