this is where everyone chimes in saying that they value a marginal increase in convenience over business rights

quote:Ehhh, that isnt exactly correct. There are many laws that are forced upon private businesses. Murder, stealing, etc are not allowed in private businesses. I am not comparing smoking to those things but smoking does affect others negatively. I dont think it is necessarily that big of a big brother govt leap to ban it
but I don't think the government should tell a private business what they can and can't allow

I am clearly being devils advocate but I believe the argument holds some weight

Neither of those things involve knowledge/consent. You know as soon as you enter a business whether or not it allows smoking, and you can make a choice to go elsewhere.

Nobody is more obnoxious than an ex-smoker turned anti-smoking zealot.

if the business posted a sign saying "you will be assaulted and robbed when you enter here"
I would be 100% ok with that being legal

quote:As am I! Do it all you want where it only affects you, though. Stink up your house, your car, whatever. Hell I believe in a lot of freedoms that only affect the person doing them. But public smoking indoors is a nuisance, and a trashy one at that.
No sir. I am a fan of freedom.

I am not for banning smoking I am just pointing out we have many laws that have already infringed on private business that people dont give a shite about

As a non-smoker I don't agree with this
