But back on point, the issue here was the town banning of the smokers from the lunch room as well as 20 feet from the building.

No, back on point, the issue here is that the "assistant county commissar" whoops, "commissioner" stated, "As a smoker, you have no rights. If I smoked, I guess I'd just quit."
And that is exactly what the antis want everyone to think.

Damn right! And that is the sort of comment that should make any liberty loving individual's blood boil, smoker or not. No citicen who is not an incarcerated criminal has more rights than anyone else, period. If I were king, I would immediately fire someone who made a stupid, arrogant hate statement like that in a public venue.

Apparently he is correct. The smoker had no rights.
