Nobody forces you to patronize an establishment that allows smoking, either. In fact, the trend prior to all these nanny-statist bans was for a lot of places voluntarily to go smoke free or have segregated areas, with decent ventilation within the establishment for smokers....Then make them illegal, rather than a cash cow for the ruling class.
After all, we know how well that has worked out for pot, cocaine and heroin, don't we?
That's the problem, Tom. Making them illegal would be about as effective as doing so for less toxic chemicals such as pot and cocaine. In other words, it would be wholly ineffective.
Of course, me doing a line of blow doesn't force you to ingest blow.
Can you point me to this long list of smoke-free bars that existed before the ban?
In other cases, states like MN mandated the segregated areas, only to later ban smoking altogether, leaving the business owners holding the bag for thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of ventilation and smoke eaters.
I can't be held accountable for stupid decisions in other states. We had no such stupidity. We simply banned smoking in restaurants, bars and in certain public places.
Who's lining the mans pocket when a smoking ban is implemented?But I guess as long as The Man gets his pockets lined, it's all good.
