Businesses are regulated by the govt. It's always been that way.

I think that as a society when we identify things that are detrimental to our health or well being we should do something about it, as opposed to "hey, this is really bad for everyone, so if you go near it or are impacted that's your fault".
Well, “we as a society” doesn’t have to mean “the government.”

Ok, one more time, show us all one example of any lawyer devoted to the field of representing clients who either died or suffered health related issues due to BEING FORCED to work in a bar that allowed smoking.

Glad my bar allows smoking even though I do not. Plenty of ventilation and the low-IQ whiners, like StupidBob, that complain are told to go somewhere else.
I have never complained to a bar owner or staff.
Moron.

So now we're gonna admit it's bad for everyone and move the goal posts back a bit?
Never said smoking wasn’t bad. Just that you have the freedom to choose how much you’re exposed to it

Things changed when we realized it was wrong, and that was driven by the govt. Not the slave owners.

So you would dissolve the FAA? If a company is putting out planes that are dangerous let the people decide? Don't enact rules to make things safer?
There are countless examples of the govt enforcing laws, rules, whatever to make an industry safer, because we've seen a lot of times the companies won't do it themselves.

You talk about private property rights. Then whine about me mentioning blue laws.
Then you switch to a different line of attack. Moves goalpost.
Muh private property rights. HEY, DONT TALK ABOUT OTHER INSTANCES OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS BEING ABUSED.
When the board starts whining about blue laws I’ll take your argument seriously. Till then it is just bs.
It’s like you are brain dead.

quote:I'm calling bullshite on that number. How can they attribute heart disease to second hand smoke as opposed to one's genetics, diet, sedentary lifestyle, etc. As for lung cancer...
Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard causing more than 41,000 deaths per year. It can cause or make worse a wide range of damaging health effects in children and adults, including lung cancer, respiratory infections and asthma
From my earlier post...
quote:
The article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute details a study of 76,000 women over more than a decade, which found the usual link between smoking and cancer. The study found no statistically significant relationship between lung cancer and exposure to passive smoke, however. Only among women who had lived with a smoker for 30 years or more was there a relationship that the researchers described as "borderline statistical significance."
Gerard Silvestri of the Medical University of South Carolina and member of the National Cancer Institute's Screening and Prevention Board, and he said the study merely confirms what many researchers already believed.
"What this study basically showed is what people kind of knew already: At low passive exposures the risk is not that great," he said. "While that's good news, it shouldn't stop anyone from saying, "I don't want to be a in a bar or any place else with someone who is smoking.
That 41,000 number is playing really fast and loose with the statistics.
