Geez, D1, of all people backing the coercive power of the state, I never figured on you.

Why couldn't we have "choice" where the owner gets to set the perameters for behavior in his establishment? I truly believe that non-smoking bars and restaurants could succeed by establishing a clientele of like minds and the rest of us old butt-smoking drunks could have our places and never the twain shall meet.

Could it be that despite people who don't like smoking, such as yourself, that non-smoking bars and restaurants probably would not survive without coercion from goobermint type repressives?

Being an ex-Kalifornian, I think ol' D1 has started to be effected by the ever increasing brain-washing maelstrom that he is being subjected to in LA...

Ditto. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought D1 was a strong private property rights and individual liberties kinda guy.
