Excellent. Let the owners, who pay the rent, decide what type of clientele they would like in their establishments. Those supporting this “current” ban, ie smoking, won’t be so happy when something they do or something they are becomes the next “current” ban.

ROTFLOL! More have been added. I love this one!!!
Next we need an anti flatulence ordinance and then a statewide law! A lot of those nonsmoker elites are also organic zealots and that stuff just doesn't digest well. Clean and Sweet air for all!

The following is what I received in email:
In a message dated 12/30/2007 7:03:10 A.M. Central Standard Time, jimbl@forces- illinois. org writes:
The below is from the IDPH adopted rules for the Smoke Free Illinois Act. They don't specify tobacco and they don't exempt incense and churches are not exempt.
Smoke or smoking means the carrying, smoking, burning, inhaling or
exhaling of any kind of lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette, hookah, weed, herbs, or any
other lighted smoking equipment. (Section 10 of the Act)
May God help us all,
Jim
Clearly, this act is un-constitutional. Gary K.

at my last check up here in Chicago, my Doctor told me my smoking habit was in fact an addiction.
In this brave new world, addictions are now disabilities, no ?
I am being discriminated against, for a disability

Why not keep smoking at home where it belongs and we wouldnt need people asking for these laws. I think everyone can see what a grip smoking has on people, even to the extent of twisting the argument into how someone smells or them being a nazi beacause they dont agree with there point. And its not a total prohibition by the way. Ill say it again, I dont like government passing laws to do this and if people would act responsible we would avoid this situation. Smoke at home all you want or a distance away from others. Heck lite the whole pack up at once I dont care as long as I dont have to breath it. My argument is for smokers to be responsible for there actions. Smokers have brought this on themselves.I don't like cigarette smoke personally. More than I don't like smoke, I don't like government nannies telling me I can or cannot do something.
I don't like fat, sweating, smelling people either. Should we pass personal hygiene laws? People who don't brush their teeth have bad breath. I shouldn't have to smell it. Let's pass a law that you must brush before leaving your house. Inside your house, you can have bad breath, but you better not in public, right?
I don't see how responsibility is part of this. I only see something you don't like (and I don't like either) and because it bothers you, personally, you want to pass a law to restrict it.
