Would it be your business if he does?
Maybe we can ban smokers from having pets now. That would be wholly American.
That's next.

I'm doubtful animals will ever get that kind of consideration. They are considered property, much as children are.
Children may one day merit the government's protection.
They already get quite a bit of it.
Whatever happened to the evidence you were going to post?
Are you folks actually going to read it? Is it going to make you reconsider your position on the dangers of secondhand smoke? Have you never been presented with such evidence before?
As far as children and second hand smoke, I do think it's strange that adults are getting far more protection than kids are. And I think it has to do with people's ideas about property. Slave labor has been outlawed for some time. But rights to one's legal offspring still demonstrate and additude of prperty ownership.
But this is not the thread for this topic, This is the humor section.
Tell ya what dear, when you relieve parents of all responsibility, including monetary, for their children, then we can talk about the Government telling us parents what and how to raise and care for our children.

Read it, yes? You've made me curious. I would like to see the evidence that second hand smoke is proven harmful.
But no, it won't make me reconsider my position. IMO, adults should be able to decide for themselves if they want to be around people that smoked. The last time I checked, children weren't allowed in bars anyway.

I agree and disagree.
Bars are one thing....you don't want to breath smoke, don't go into a bar.
My first college...of course, smoking was banned inside. So they had a designated area for it. Unfortunately (for some reason) there was a large amount of smokers at the school I went to. They would stand at every entrance to a building and light up after every class. I could not avoid breathing in their smoke, I had no choice on places to go to avoid it, unless I happen to want to scale a two-story building and clime in through a window.
Sometimes I would come home, and my g/f would accuse me of smoking. I have lung disease and wouldn't think twice about it. Asking didn't help either. One of them flicked a cig. at me while another one blew a smoke ring in my face...shortly before having the cigarette knocked from his mouth.
Not everyone has a choice. A 5 year-old doesn't have a choice whether or not to breath that crap when his mother and father light up in the house. Not bashing smokers out there...but you're kids don't have a choice...
See the other thread. Children don't have to go to bars to be exposed to second hand smoke. Some children get enough of it in their homes and in cars. But did I have to point that out?
I think adults who want to be around other adults who smoke should be free to do so as long as they are not doing so in a place where others are endangered, including children and employees.
I'm specifically talking about bars.
Hey, I hope I didn't blow smoke in your face. I have to admit, sometimes I take a pack of cigarettes and hang out at the entrance of bars and light one up after another and chuckle at the faces people make at me.
Other than that, I rarely go near a bar. No point.
Oh, I agree about the kids. I'm talking about bars.
A place where kids are not.
I'll look at it tomorrow. Just chugged a cafe con leche and I'm too frazzled to think straight.
Don't forget...we are talking about bars and employees have the option of working at jobs that may be dangerous.
I worked really late last night and needed to be awake to drive home.
Please don't expect any coherent dialog out of me today...not that it will be much different than usual but I'm sleepy.
Though maybe I understand your point now. Let's limit the discussion to bars where children are not allowed.
