Second hand smoke is like global warming - a scare tactic based on rigged science in order to gain more control over our lives.
Opponents say smoking is legal and government shouldn't interfere with the rights of private property owners.
And that is the real nub of the matter, eliminating private and individual property rights.
Casinos, horse tracks, bingo halls, cigar bars and smoke shops would be exempt from the smoking ban.
For now, and only to dampen opposition to this power grab. Once it is accepted elsewhere these locales will fall, also.
Yep, the same as was done with the seatbelt laws.
At first it was "we won't stop you for a seatbelt violation, it will only be added on if you're stopped on another more serious vioalation" now it's "CLICK IT OR TICKET".
