Those restaurant and bar owners have the right to decide for themselves if they want THEIR business to be smoking or non-smoking don't they.

The right is second to the state's right to control the smoking in their establishment.

You must be kidding? Without private property rights, we have NO rights. If the state can tell you what to do with your property, then they CONTROL your property! Your ignorance on this issue is breathtaking. Or, you are just a fan of totalinarianism. Either way, you don't deserve the freedom you take for granted.

BTW, in countries like Irag or Zimbabwe for instance, all rights are secondary to the STATE'S rights. THAT is what you are supporting.

Typical statist attitude.
