What is it exactly that I have to work on, sir?

Primarily, an understanding of liberty. Most jobs are at privately owned establishments. Since you are not compelled to work there, the owner, not you, gets to set the rules. You posted some silliness about how you have no objection to a well ventilated room for smokers, as if you get to set the rules.

Liberty generally requires that you act to extract yourself from that which you find unappealing rather than demand that others cease action.

LOL

So what if the buildings are privately owned? Many of the first restrictions on smoking came from private companies. The reason was because people were bothered by the smoke.

You're right, that I'd have to go somewhere to smoke, but in a FREE SOCIETY people are also allowed to request their employers set up a tolerable work environment.

Yeah, I guess if the boss wanted to hose me down with Kool Aid, I'd better just shut up or leave. But I become anti-liberty if I DARE ASK the man to call off the Kool-Aid Man.
