Um, that is illegal in most places...

True but strip clubs are not, they are immoral and we should be protecting those perverts from wasting their money on cheap women. While we are at it we should tax soft drinks(ohh wait there is a plan in the works for that). And people who constantly talk without ever taking a rest should be limited to so many words a day. And those tanning spas it is not only unhealthy for the folks cooking themselves it is also an eyesore the folks dried up before their time. Not to mention we may have to pay for their skin cancer. Those boom box cars make my blood boil too, and I am not the only one. When will we outlaw them, and let's outlaw the pants dropping off the rear end to nobody wants to see your underwear or crack.

Ohhhh I could go on and on and on. When do we stop, will we ever stop, what happens when government decides if your quality of life meets standards and if not what then? Honestly folks not trying to yank anybody's chain but seriously when and where will it stop. Most of us agree NAIS is a bad idea, don't you understand this is the same as them telling you how you can run your own business.

I so agree, when will it stop?
Adding to your list: CO (carbon monoxide) is bad for everyones health yet we still have the right to dive one.
Does anyone here who is protesting smoking drive a car?
If you do, do you think maybe the government should have the ability to tell you that you do not have the right to drive, because you are exposing those who don't to unhealthy chemicals?
If everyone had to walk or bike, that may eliminate the need to tax sinful foods!
Hey...I found the cure for obesity.....make using vehicles illegal!
Edited for going alittle over ther top....sorry. But can you see where this could lead?

As a former smoker I don't think that law makers have any business in this one (or many other issues for that matter, but

). If I don't want to be around smoke, I do not go where there is smoke. If I go to a restaurant that has a smoking section, I deal with it. If I don't want to deal with it I choose a restaurant that is all non smoking. It should be the owners who decide, not the government.

edited to add I haven't had a cig in 4 years.

Most places are NOT non-smoking - most restaurants are not non-smoking. Maybe where you live they are.. however here in VA where I live - most places are smoking.

Owners business depends upon clientele. As I said, you arent going to please everyone all of the time. I dont agree with enforcing certain things however... I shouldnt have to breathe in someone elses habit because they choose to smoke and the owner chooses NOT to install separate ventilation. That is catering to one type of clientele and not the other.

Not going to win in either situation I'm afraid.

I think they should ban all restraunts from selling any dish that will cause gas in the person eating it. Because I get behind that person everytime I go shopping in Walmart. Ban fart food!!!!

My opinion on the original topic stands. If I own the business and I pay the taxes on it then I should be able to allow what I want inside it. I just thought of something: what if I own the place and I want a smoke? I gotta leave my business possibly unattended? The government needs to keep its mitts out of my business and people that want to be in a place that allows or disallows certain activities can always drive down the road to the next place. I don't go in places with signs that say I can't carry my gun. I go somewhere else that wants my money. I passed up buying a used vehicle because the place was not gun friendly. Their loss.

And for the record I do not smoke. I drink tea .... now if they ban that I'm sunk. And I get very moody without my black tea. Misty get angry ..... (hulk pose)
