As a Louisiana resident who frequents restaurants with my family, it will be nice to finally be able to go out to dinner and not be assaulted by other peoples' smoky excrement. Non-smoking areas are a joke because the excrement invariably wafts through the whole restaurant anyway.

You are such a nice guy and what couth!  Wow! Keep up the good work.  America needs more hate.

On the other hand, what the heck business is it of the government to disallow smoking in PRIVATE establishments? This is clearly a matter for the market, NOT government, to decide.

At least you recognize that this should be left up to the private business owner and his patrons and not the government.

Because I do not enjoy inhaling or watching my young daughters inhale other people's cigarette smoke I am a hater? That is bizarre.
