well then, i really fail to see the reason to melt so hard, other than being so blindly "AGAINST GOV'T, GRR"
because choice has been removed from the market and one side is using government as a cheat code
crony capitalism is bad
removing choice is bad

there is a large difference between a bar choosing to go smoke free on their own and a bar being forced to go smoke free by the government
are you equally upset at other things that govt makes private businesses do then?

this debate has nothing to do with smoking and smokers I'm sorry you are too dumb to realize this
Deal with it. Outside.
Deal with what outside? No one arguing with you right now are smokers.

I don't necessarily look at this as an undercurrent of what's to come in the gov't versus private business debate
I see it more as ANOTHER step in a long series to steps to essentially completely eradicate tobacco smoke from the human population in America
As I said, I'm torn. But I'm not upset. I live in a city with a strict smoking ban

right
which is pretty fricked up
people should be able to smoke freely on private property if they wish

I don't smoke but smoking is legal and government shouldn't have the authority to ban smoking in PRIVATE businesses/property.

huh?
being for property rights is not emotional or irrational. property rights are the foundation for western society, even before other rights like the right to free speech and a free press. modern society begins by given man domain over his own property, and allowing free humans to make voluntary exchanges with each other using their property.
what people do with their property is of no concern to me, especially if it doesn't directly affect me

You are yet to make a non-emotional rational point in this thread.

then just ban it like we do weed. this is an inefficient means to that end. that means added transaction costs and inefficient government

One day they came for the smokers and I did not care because I was not a smoker.
