I said if they don't like it, go their own way and stay away.

So you think the non-smokers should quit their jobs because the smokers abused their priveledge by smoking in the non smoking section ? Those are the attitudes of smokers who have no consideration for others that drives some folks to use the power of majority rule to ban all smoking.

I bet the place had a smoker or two who thought like you and they are the reason the health director went ballistic.

Bet the place had more than its share of wackos like you and that's why the health director went ballistic.

I was right, you can't read. The article clearly points out that their lunch room was also their smoking room.

That wasn't what the article said. Read it again.

Our lunch room was also our smoking room and it's very small," he explained. "People who don't smoke couldn't get away from the smoke."

Visser said that there had been some complaints to the health department and a few weeks ago Michael Rosen, Deputy Health Commissioner, and an assistant visited the facility and came to the conclusion that controlling the smokers was not feasible so they designated the building as non-smoking.

I still have no problem with the county making the building nonsmoking.
Read the bold, it's about control.
And with Mr. Vissers attitude smokers are third, or fourth, class citizens to him.
