Free Republic

I wanted to remind everyone that we have less than three weeks to register to vote in the Florida elections. Among other important matters is the proposed Florida Constitutional amendment which would ban smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including restaurants and even private residences if they provide commercial childcare, health care, or elder care. Although I do not smoke, I am opposed to this amendment. I am quite capable of deciding my tolerance level for cigarette smoke, and I do not need Big Brother to do it for me.

This November, there will be an initiative on the ballot to amend Florida's Constitution. This amendment, Amendment 6, will ban smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including restaurants and their connected bars. Stand alone bars would be exempt, but smoking would be banned in private residences if they are used to provide health care, child care, or elder care.
