If smokers were courteous and would smoke outside, this would be a non issue.

now come on

read that sentence again and tell me who is the selfish ones

The one that forces smoke on others is clearly the selfish one.

.I can't even fathom how anyone could try to claim that the ones against this law are the selfish ones

Whatever dude. Smokers are among the most selfish groups of people ever.

If smokers were courteous and would smoke outside, this would be a non issue. Smokers are the reason this issue exists.

LULZ..... I don't smoke (cigars occasionally, mostly at home).

But you are supporting a law that prevents a person from opening a smoker friendly bar, because you don't like smoke. That is the very definition of selfish.

Many bars in Huntsville and other cities have become non smoking. They listed to their customers complaints and made a change. That's the way I see things continuing.

and this is how it should be

let the market/customers decide, not forced down upon from the government

So I am mistaken in thinking I should be able to go somewhere in public?

First, you have every right to go wherever you want in "public." But, you are mistaken in thinking that restaurants are "public." They are not. They are private. If they were public, then you could not be kept out. But, restaurants can keep you out if they choose not to allow brown shoes inside and you happen to be in brown shoes.

You ARE mistaken in thinking you have a greater right to go inside a restaurant than the restaurant owner has to set the terms and conditions upon which you may enter.

As it should be, but not in NOLA if the smoking Nazis get their way.

And that's the way I should be.

I heard that the Bulldog BR was going non-smoking starting Jan. 1 but I haven't been by yet, anyone know?

If they in fact did go non-smoking, then there won't be a single place I frequent that allows smoking, and that's without a ban on smoking in bars in BR.

right. "hey im gonna light up this cigarette and all you who dont like it can deal with it or GTFO."

clearly not selfish at all.

---

right

"Hey I know you are a smoking establishment, but I want to come inside. So I think you should be forced to cater to my beliefs even though to own this establishment"

clearly not selfish at all

why would you support purist & entitled business owners if you truly feel that strongly about the situation?

come on

you're better than this
