Why was that?

People respected everyone's rights back then. Today, you have all these clowns that make up their own idea of rights for other people. Its become a "ME, ME, ME," Nation.

You don't have the right to blow smoke in my face any more than I have the right to spit in yours. The laws are fine the way they are right now...no smoking in an enclosed public area, but fine to smoke in your home or outside. Should be the same whether tobacco or cannabis.

Because they were ignorant. In the 50's some doctors were still telling people smoking was good for you.

Cigarettes were once

Yeah... only now the ME, ME, ME, people are the smokers. Apparently they think their right to poison themselves should also allow them to poison others. Foolish nonsense.

I guess we shouldn't expect anything different from a bunch of weak-minded selfish drug addicts.

If you are offended by naked women do not go to a strip club. If smoking bothers you do not go to a place that allows smoking. It ain't real complicated.

As you can be ejected or denied access to a private establishment at any time without reason it's hardly a public place.

Says the person who wants the right to go to smoke free bars. That is funny.

Be careful - If you think of second hand smoke as a poison, it will BE a poison.

Propaganda, too, is a poisonous smoke.

I'll give you credit. Your mental illness that puts you in charge of the decisions of others is strong in you. You are the epitimay of s liberal.
