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

 

And that won't happen. Smokers will suck it up and either puff away at tremendous rates before going into restaurants, or they'll take smoke breaks during their meal. Either way, I'm happy with them being forced to go outside. :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.

No one is forcing a non-smoker to walk through the doors and support a business where smoking is allowed, so....

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

 

Do we have a right to a sanitary environment in a privately owned business?

HB, it should be up the the owner, just that simple.

Non smokers are not infringing upon other people when they eat at a restaurant. Smokers are. Smokers can go outside to smoke...

Then I guess it should be up to the owner as to whether or not they feel like cleaning the restaurant too?

 

It might be that simple, IN YOUR OPINION, but your opinion doesn't speak for everyone.

Absolutely, right are becoming a thing of history. I would love to see a government law that prohibited anyone from eating anything unhealthy (not really), no alcohol, because it has been linked to serosis, hepitis, and is the number one cause of drunk driving. Let see how those goes over. Talk about toxic wast, no more Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Budweiser, Miller.

 

The simple fact is that we don't need the government dictating a healthy life. If you want to smoke, eat fried food, drink till your pickled, good luck. These government imposed life style laws always makes me think of "Judge Dredd", in the future your not allowed to do things that are bad for you. How fictional was it?

 

Not that it really matters but I think you are talking about the movie demolition man.

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.

 

Well yea...There are some things out there that are none of my business... I try not to meddle in other peoples business.But if I own My own business and I post smoking allowed sign on the front Door...There are only two choices for a person to make...:thumb:

It's flat out greedy to make all restaurants non-smoking. Smokers aren't infringing on anyone unless they smoke in a non-smoking section.

Why cant non smokers go out side and dine?It's environmental friendly...I think...

It's up to me to go to a clean restaurant or a dirty one. It's up to a non-smoker to go to a smoking restaurant or not.

If you seriously believe that having smoking vs non smoking sections in a restaurant works...then I don't know what to say. :lol:

 

Any restaurant owner who is smart would go to a smoking ban anyways. Something like 2/3 of this country are non-smokers who probably do not want to be around the smoke atmosphere.

 

Here's a very long list of restaurant mangers/owners who have benefited from banning smoking.

Go outside? Go outside and get a quick breath of fresh, non-cancerous air before going right back into breath in the smokey junk?
