Thanks borisbob69, but many here do not understand. They insist that they have a RIGHT to smoke wherever they choose. When that argument fails, they claim PROPERTY RIGHTS. The fact remains that LAWS have always defined PROPERTY USE, which is what they are actually arguing. In some states that have restricted smoking, it is still legal to open a smoking club where those who prefer to smoke can do so without restriction. I visit them sometimes, but mostly I prefer a cigar in the open air. I can understand the fear that even this use may be banned, but so far it has not. My problem is that by insisting on their RIGHT to smoke ANYWHERE, they have forced others to form a MOB...previously referred to as VOTERS...in order to assert THEIR RIGHT to a smoke-free environment.

My right vrs your right, let's say, just for argument, that they cancel each other out.
Now how about we let the property owner decide. Could you buy that?

Laws commanded that Blacks be slaves, and have all nature of crimes committed upon them. Law in a dozens countries ordered Jews, gypsy’s, the cripple and lame to the death camps. Laws gave Stalin leave to kill millions.

No doubt you would of obeyed.

God when he released Abraham from killing his son, Isaac showed that even his law has limits.

NO NO NO! You have it all wrong. We do NOT insist on smoking anywhere we want. We just want our own space. Especially with recreation hours where we spend our own money to enjoy ourselves. The anti-smokers have turned US into a MOB defending our rights to smoke a legal product and we are defending the rights of a business owner to protect his business to run it the way HE/SHE sees fit.

That's it!
