Smoking Ban in Bars

[Savannah D]

Oh, and smoking IS actually a RIGHT, as outlined by The Constitution of The United States, Ammendment 9 which states,

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

or in other words, it is your right to do anything you wish, provided it does not violate a law.

First off, I used to be a very heavy smoker, now I'm use an electronic cigarette, much healthier and no second hand smoke, so I can, legally do it wherever I wish... I can use My Ecig in an elementary school classroom (not that I ever would) and it's completely legal... Even when I was a heavy smoker I did not smoke around children, nor would I ever presume that I can smoke in the house of a non-smoker... I also wouldn't smoke in crowds. I was a VERY considerate smoker, because you're right in the fact that I don't have the right to subject someone to second hand smoke, who doesn't wish to be around it...

Even now, when I DO feel the desire for a good ol fashioned cigarette, I would never complain about a no smoking sign... If your business doesn't allow smoking, fine, that's your right as a business owner, but it is NOT right to regulate businesses where children are not welcome, in order to control the legal actions of adults. EVEN if those actions aren't healthy for them...

Where is the line drawn? Will we ban drinking in bars next? How about only allowing bars to serve two beverages (the maximum amount daily considered to be "safe" by most health experts) per customer?

Recently, it's been shown that poor dietary choices are a larger health risk then smoking.... Are we going to ban fried food in bars?

It's really simple a bar owner should be free to choose how they wish to run their business, if you don't like it, you can vote with your wallet by not going, as I, and many other smokers do by not going to non-smoking bars.

You have every right to not support non smoking bars. But its also everyones right to attend a bar that isn't inundated with smoke. You say you are a considerate smoker, so this law shouldn't effect you that much.

I love the law as it forces business owners to cater to every crowd. You want to smoke? Great....there is a very nice seating section outside to accommodate you so you don't force non-smokers to be around your smoke. Its not fair to non smokers that we must choose if we.can handle the smoke or not, but its the best place in town. So... now...win this law... everyone can enjoy any establishment. Smokrs can enjoy it as well, and when/if the need arises for a smoke...the door is just right there its a win for everyone!!

It is only your right when it doesn't infringe upon my right to breathe clean air.

Which I don't... I wouldn't smoke in your home, I wouldn't smoke in your car, I wouldn't smoke on your personal property or in your non-smoking bar, but if you come into MY home, ride in MY car, or coming into MY neighborhood bar (which is thankfully in the county, NOT the city, and hence, so far, not affected... YET) GUESS WHAT, in THOSE places, I have a right to smoke, and you have a right to not be there if you don't want to be around it.
