The people who bother me are the anti-smokers who when they see someone smoking will go out of there way to get in there face and start coughing and going on about how you are killing them. Sorry I live in California and I do get that from time to time. It is people like that who push these kind of things and make it hard on all of us to enjoy something that we like.  |
Ok, its a loosing argument between the non-smokers vs. the smokers, no body wins this argument. The real problem on smoking bans is the infringements of property rights of the business owners. A example to relate to is that if a state passed a law saying the its unlawfully to have any manufacture sugar in your home if you have Diabetes or if anyone living in your home has diabetes, that means no coke, no Dixie Crystal sugar, or no ice cream in your home, people would crap a brick then. It should be up to the owner to decide to allow smoking in there business. people have the right to choose where they want to eat and shop but don't have the right to dictate policies and practice of a business they don't own. Now TAX FUNDED property's like courts, jails, offices, and schools, let the chips fall as they may.
Now non-smokers might say: This don't affect me why should I care. or I don't like smoking anyways, I think its a good idea. these are very dangerous statements because they are allowing rights of people to be taking away. If governments are allowed to pass laws like this it will add to the ego that they can do whatever they want. Not caring about the rights of others being taking away is like taking them away yourself, as American's we should stand up and fight back the tyranny of this government.
maby its just my
