Ditto. A smoking ban is a violation of property rights. The business owners should have the right to decide, not the legislature.




On the contrary it's a health issue and the rights of the few should not override the rights of the many. Many suffer because a few people want to smoke. Like me and children who are forced to grow up with parents and others who jepordize their health for the rest of their lives by partaking in an unhealthy lifestyle. What kind of person inflicts on others sickness and disease for their own personal pleasure? The research has been done and still folks want to argue against it. Why should the innocent suffer?

Would the same standard apply to people at large that are carriers of communicable/STD diseases?

I dont smoke. I live in California so they haven't allowed smoking for as long as i can remember. I don't mind smokers personality. My noise doesn't like it and I have a reaction even if i am around or near someone who had smoked. Its weird. Even if I cant smell it , I have the same issue. Eyes start watering and I cant breath. I have several family members who smoke. I enjoy being around them so I take some medications to help. I do not think they even allow it in bars out here. So the ban out here is nothing new.

Cigarettes are ridiculously expensive. You would recoup whatever you spend to quit in no time. That argument doesn't make sense.

FLquitLine is supposed to help, I'm asthmatic so never smoked.

I know nothing about it at all- except they advertise the heck out of it.

I think fair is fair and there should also be a farting ban. You know those people who after bean burrito special at the 7-11 go shopping and gas every isle and run...yeah...well that burns MY eyes, and makes ME short of breath, and I am positive...POSITIVE it has detrimental effects to my health and well being

Nasty people

You know who ya are

I have to disagree with this point. For some people it may be less expensive, but for us, Chantix alone is $670 a month and the smokes are $200. Yeah yeah yeah don;t get going on the health care costs added in PWEASE!

EVerything we eat, drink and breathe causes health problems. If anyone is to be believed that is.

Oh, and the patch made us both sicker than dogs within an hour. Weird. I have a co-worker on them and she did just fine.

I get that you are joking but there are actually ordinances in the works to ban methane gas from cow farts. I am serious. Even though I find that HILARIOUSLY retarded, it is true.
