I'll tell you what. I went bowling for the first time in many years. When we left, I and my little family all smelled like an ashtray. I don't care what my wife says, she will never, ever get me back into that place on a night when they allow smoking.
Smoking sucks. No ifs, ands, or butts. Smokers who light up right in front of me, forcing me to endure even a second of their noxious fumes, suck. The ones who throw their filthy butts on the street suck. I spend a lot of time and energy keeping myself fit and healthy. Smokers have zero right to inflict their filth into my lungs, my eyes, on my clothes, or anywhere else. Zero, none, no.
No sympathy here. Ban away.
You have a right to post your opinion here.
I have never heard a smoker here advocate discourteous smoking. So cool your jewels.
You have a right not to go bowling there. The OWNER has a right to do what he/she wants with their establishment.
If you don't like the radio or tv station, turn it off. Same thing.
