Ok. Fact; you think it's moral and legitimate to force people at gunpoint to run their businesses as YOU see fit.
People who are otherwise conservative are willing to allow the creation of dubious health arguments and also allow the taking of another's property so that they can avoid smokers.
You seem one of them. Otherwise conservative, but on this issue, an issue of manufactured rights, you advocate thuggery and tyranny.
This ought to give you some sort of hint how objectionable the stink from your cigarette is.
To you. And who cares? It's off topic. The topic is whether you can rightfully force people at gunpoint to your will. Smoking is irrelevant.
If smokers had any kind of clue, they wouldn't insist on smoking in public PRIVATE PROPERTY places
There I fixed the problem. I know how to strike out too. The difference is, I strike out lies and misconceptions.
and virtually force the nonsmokers to take drastic actions.
This is the most specious and absurd argument I have ever seen.
You wear aftershave that I don't like. It makes me nauseous. Worse than cigarette smoke. Therefore you virtually FORCE me to blow a hole in your head. Reductio ad absurdum
Second, it is also my contention that in the event that a government, whether rightly or wrongly, terminates the ability of a restaurant owner from serving smokers he should be compensated. The smokers here apparently don't care about him.
Third, my posistion is the reason that you are getting so successfully attacked on your options on places you can smoke is not because of health reasons its because it stinks. It stinks so badly that otherwise good conservatives really can't get all that worked up over the issue.
