After the law was passed, the smokers were in control. They could have continued to go to the guys restaurant but no, they were too selfish to put aside their smoking urges for an hour.

Likewise, if we pass a law that mandates VRWC_minion be taxed at a rate of 90%, and you refuse to pay, then we can toss you in prison. After all, you were "in control".

So the people who passed the law weren't selfish? And the smokers were? If there were no law, and we let the market decide, couldn't everyone be selfish and do what they wanted? Especially the business owners who invested in these places?
