Haven't smokers been hoarding them all up until recently? I mean sure they had "smoking sections" but that obviously wasn't doing any good.

 

Smokers can go outside to smoke. Non-smokers, if smoking is allowed, are forced to sit in a room filled with smoke that they don't want to be around.

 

No one is forcing a non-smoker to walk through those Doors...:thumb:

I'm not sure our founding fathers knew every answer to every question.

 

I bet they knew all about Freedom of Choice...

So non-smokers should have to stay at home because people want to fill the air with cancerous smoke? Or should they just have to suck it up and suffer for other peoples bad choices?

 

Answer me this. Why is it such a big deal for smokers to simply get up and walk outside to smoke? Is it laziness?

 

I enjoy Richmond restaurants right now even more than I ever have. Same with Lexington. When I leave the restaurants now I don't smell like I've rolled around in an ash tray for a few hours.

So I guess you are pro-choice in all matters then?

It has nothing to do with smokers...Im not one...Its about the guy/or girl who invest his Money in the Business that He Owns...:thumb:

No one is forcing a smoker to walk through the doors and support a business where they cannot smoke.

 

If it is such an affront, boycott the business, drive the economy south and show the politicians they made a mistake.

As long as its none of my business...:thumb:

So, you would support businesses have ZERO health standards to have to follow for their restaurant?

So, it affects you and you would change your mind? But as long as it does not affect you but affects others it is okay.

I know alot of smokers who do exercise there right not to eat somewhere that does not allow smoking...:thumb:

Don't agree with you often H20, but we are right on this one.

Excellent point. :thumb:

Great. If this is such an issue, we will see restaurants struggle and the politicians will change their view.

I was about to post the same thing. :thumb:

Again, that's progressing it on to places it would not and should not go. It's like saying if we ban plastic explosives, we'll surely be banning fireworks next..then candles...then matches. Oh my God, where will it stop! :scared:

 

See, it just doesn't make sense to say that an effort to protect the public health shouldn't be undertaken because it would somehow automatically lead to banning ridiculous things.

 

Do we have a right to have smoke-free environments in privately-owned businesses?
