The gov't,however, seems to think they should be able to control it anywhere-seems YOUR HOME will be next! And it won't stop with smoking!
I am all for no smoking in grocery stores, government buildings, elevators, etc. But restaurants, bars, taverns and sports inns? They had/have smoking sections and non-smoking sections and have installed large smoke eaters to accommodate everyone. But that still wasn't good enough for the anti-smoker's. And here we sit.
There are 7 smoke-free states. I just hope the rest learn a lesson from this and not follow suit.
If the government goes into a person's home to forbid smoking, they may as well ban cigarettes and tobacco products.
I mentioned this because there was a lawsuit trying to prohibit someone from smoking in or around there own home due to the non-smoker next door.Of course, they don't want to ban them all together, the gov't needs the money! BTW, if someone is as allergic to cigarette smoke as I am, those smoke eaters and smoking, non-smoking sections don't work.
That doesn't bother me, however, I choose to go to those restaurants in which I can survive! :-) They shouldn't be required to accomodate those of us who happen to have problems I am also highly allergic to certain parfumes, but I don't expect them to stop allowing people to wear it! :-)
(Some) Conservatives support the right of the government to go into people's homes to see that a man and wife are not enjoying each other in a non-approved manner; it's hard to see why smoking shouldn't get the same treatment.
