I don’t care what you do on your property as long as it doesn’t get to me. I’m not going to be going on your property, especially if you’re blowing that poison around.

So, you won’t see me there. But where you will see me is in the public areas of our country and that’s exactly where I’m not about to have people blowing poison in my face against my will.

Now, there’s a restaurant close by to me that has a completely sectioned off area - another room, a shut door and it’s own ventilation - and all the smokers convene in there. I don’t go in there, but they are free to blow all that poison on each other and they seem to like it.

I don’t care if they stay in that room and it’s fine by me. I appreciate the restaurant for doing that and keeping others safe from that poison. The owner of that restaurant had the right idea.

I have witnessed states that mandated this by law, with the promise of not going further. Business owners complied, at a substantial cost.

Then the same states banned inside smoking entirely, negating the tens of thousands of dollars spent in previous compliance.

Why does the business owner have to accommodate non-smokers at all, if he or she believes that smokers make a more lucrative clientele for their business?

Nice dodge statist.

I suggest you build yourself a little bubble - you breath more poison in your car than you ever will in a room full of smokers.

I can't believe someone who has been here as long as you have doesn't understand agendas, media hogwash, and how even the government lies to you because of an agenda.

The flavor aide must taste better in your rarefied world. I truly feel sorry for people like you who are so blinded by their ignorance they can't see how wrong they are.

We had a restaurant which went to the expense of doing just that--separate room, separate HVAC, the works, but within a year the smoke Nazis had banned those smoking areas, too.

Don't worry, when they are done with the smokers, something you like will be in their sights, and they'll never be satisfied in their quest to do good in their eyes.

As for breathing poison, most of the poison you breathe from cradle to grave will go unopposed by you or others--whether or not there are smokers present.
