Hypocrites. "I don't mind sitting in a bar polluting my liver....just don't smoke around me." Seriously??? I find it truly amazing that smoking socially has been accepted for hundreds of years in america, and now all of a sudden, one lady files a lawsuit causing millions of people to question it. 
 sheeple....
What about those non smokers who are sick and tired (literally) of being trapped in a cloud of smoke in non-drinking restaurants...What about those of us who don't drink? It's a moot point for me...the public smoking ban has been in effect through most of Canada for about a decade. And I for one am glad that my days of coming home from a public place feeling like I swallowed battery acid are in the past. But anyway, who said non-smoking drinkers are hypocrites? They choose to drink, just as they choose not to smoke. It's not about hypocrisy, it's about personal choice. 
I'm not talking about resteraunts. I'm talking about bars. Personal choice indeed. Freedom....???? Think about it... And to Singmesweet...america was the first to start the no-smoking trend. Most of Europe could give a sh!t. And....being over there a couple years ago, seeing some of the most in shape, healthy people I have ever seen.....smoking...in public. Well...I was flabbergasted... Go over there, witness for yourself, and prove me wrong... If you're referring to the freedom of blowing smoke in people's faces, well, count me out of your idea of freedom. It's always struck me as strange how smokers are so quick to cite their freedom, generally with a complete disregard for the freedom of a non smoker to breathe reasonably clean air and to envision a future without an iron lung, but that's just my opinion. You know.. if you looked at this the right way, not using the power of the state to enforce your idea of a perfect society on the rest of the world, there might be a business opportunity in opening a smoke-free bar where there's a demand for it. Why won't people let the free market do the talking?? Bars here have the choice of allowing or disallowing smoking.. guess what??? people go to both. some people like being in bars where there's nobody smoking and people like being able to go to a bar, have a whiskey and smoke without the health-facists breathing down their throats! Well, it sounds like there will be enclosed smoking areas. So, just like non-smokers had the choice whether or not to go somewhere that allowed smoking, the smokers will now have the choice of going somewhere that doesn't allow smoking. Or going somewhere that allows smoking in an enclosed smoking area. |

In Washington state, or in Seattle I should say, they are trying to ban smoking in public places, even outside, in the parks, everywhere...I am not a smoker but do not agree with the government banning smoking...I bet if the citizens demanded that booze be banned, no politician would go for that!! |
