Your missing our point. This is no longer a problem and more needless regulation is a BAD thing.

This gets at the heart of what the anti-smoking crusaders, trans-fat banners and Parental Advisory champions of the world are looking to do. Subject the rest of society to their purist worldview. In the end, they're just another group who feels entitled. Morally outraged Boomers with nothing better to do. Pretty pathetic.
fine, lets just do away with all smoking regulation and go back to the way it was in the 70's. smoking in restaurants, shopping malls, hospitals.....all of it. we'll just keep all of our kids locked up in the house so the grown ups can have their "rights." liberty!!! wooohooo!!

Certainly, they offer an alternative to fill a market.

You know I'm not sure. Something I came across on the web years ago. If I figure it out I'll find you in a thread and let you know.

I don't smoke and I don't support the law.
One of my favorite places in Shreveport is Noble Savage. Love that place. But they allow smoking, and while I was able to look past it, my wife cannot. So I haven't been in about 3 years. That makes me sad. But I wouldn't ever want the local government to tell the owners that they can't allow smoking within their privately owned business.

not for me it's not. i like laws that protect children from parents who are too stupid to protect their own kids.
now laws that protect the adults? i dont care. like i said....smoke in your bars all you want.

Lnchbox - In all sincerity, answer this question.
Who has the greater right?
A) An invitee's right to set the terms and conditions upon which he gets to enter a private business; or
B) The private business owner's right to set the terms and conditions upon which invitees are allowed to enter

What are you blabbering about? You mentioned the way things used to be. They are no longer that way. More needless regulation is not justified.

This. But they have to follow laws, and I agree with part of this proposed law.

Lnchbox - every restaurant in your home city could join together and agree that you and you alone are not allowed into their restaurants...and, it's perfectly legal.
Why is it legal?

If a restaurants thinks in 2015 they could successfully run their business at the same level of profit by allowing smoking then more power to them. My guess is the market would force them to change their mind pretty quickly, as times change and this isn't 1957. But they won't have that chance to figure out what's best for their business - the government has already taken care of that for them.
Regarding hospitals, daycares, department stores, et. al. - I haven't seen anyone clamoring for lifting smoking bans in these types of places. Nice hyperbole, though.
