Sorry, but this ex-smoker is all for it. There is not one positive thing that comes from filling your lungs with smoke.

Doesn't matter the government has no right taking over the decision of private resteraunt owners of whether to allow smoking in their establishments.

"There is not one positive thing that comes from filling your lungs with smoke. "

Who "forced" you to do so in the first place? Do you not have a mind of your own? Are you functionally illiterate and were unable to read the Surgeon General's warnings on each and every package that you opened and smoked?

Could you name us a recent valid source of any scientific study that PROVES that secondary, tertiary or quaternary smoke actually does any damage to any life form in an open air area, and if so, what open air space results could you post here for all to see and make up our own minds?

Smoking has the benefit of lessening the demand for Social Security benefits as smokers die off early. Is it worth the costs in medical care for cancer? I don't know. I just wish smokers would quit throwing their butts all over creation.

That's a personal opinion.  Just because it's something that you do not like or enjoy, your for taking it away from people who do?  What Country do YOU live in!

Sure there is...I'm positive it would keep a weak-kneed a$$hole like you away from me.

While I agree with you about smoking, I disagree about the govt telling owners of private property what they can or cant do in it.

Bad laws that YOU AGREE with lead to bad laws you may not be so keen on in the future...
