If tobacco-addicts had any respect for the normal people, it wouldn't be an issue, but they don't. But if you were to lit up some incense, they would be the first to demand you put it out (not that I use or need incense.
You see, it is NOT a smoker's world anymore. Most people are intelligent enough not to use this drug. Some, however, have absolute contempt for the normal people. I think they have this attitude, well if I have to suffer with this filth (because I don't have enough backbone to break my addiction), then you are going to suffer too.
lol, if goverment had any respect for the people they are supposed to be serving, goverment would be 1/100th the size it is today.
goverment does not need to be involved in this area at all, and should stay out of it too.
if goverment wants to ban it, then do it and get it over with.
good luck to any politicians wanting to stay in power after passing this bill.
I believe the root of the problem is most business owners are more likely to be conservative types and wouldn't ban it on their own. The most vocal of the anti smoking crowd are the types unlikely to run such a business so you end up with lopsided amount of places that allow smoking.
So let the market dictate it then. Or hey... the sign is right there non-smokers. Enter at your own risk.
What right do you have to enter a private business? If the restaurant doesn't serve the kind of food you like are they supposed to change the menu to accommodate you?
That would produce a monstrous black market and crime wave to follow.
Of course it would. You didn't detect the hint of sarcasm? Prohibition doesn't work. It didn't work with alcohol, and it's not working with any other drugs.
yah, the 20% of Americans who are addicted are going to vote them out!!!! Delusion, old boy.
plus all the tobacco farmers, the people they employ and the copanies that make the cigarettes.
good try tho. you also have to remember that 20% to 30% of a population voting for a certain candidate can make or break who gets elected and who doesnt.
