Yeah...but did he ask them or just assume that BIG BROTHER KNOWS BEST!

That's the problem, he did ask them. The majority of the workers favor the ban according to some industry surveys.

That's no reason to apply a tyranny of the majority. Let those that desire a smoke free environment seek employment in smoke free establishments and those that do not act accordingly.

He just ask the majority that he knew would agree with him!

I sent countless letters to Gifford Miller of the NYC City Council and letters to the rest of the council protesting this. Sent them information about ASHRA saying that bar and restaurant workers smoke the equivalent of "6" cigarettes a YEAR. Do you think they would listen? NO! And as Max said: this was rubber stamped and the City Council was determined to do what they wanted to do and to hell with the people and business owners.

Now we have Phillip Morris Corporate Head into the mix. Now HE has a dog in this fight. Every employee at the NY Phillip Morris Building smoke at their desk. He and all the rest will have to go out into the alley to smoke. LOL!

"The majority of the workers favor the ban according to some industry surveys."

That sounds like the phrase the Dem talking heads like to use:

"Most Americans (want) (say) (agree)...."....fill in the blanks.

But nobody ever asks them to prove it or cite thier source. And if they do...it's usually: "Oh, the NY Times reported that."

Do you have references for these industry surveys?
