You leave or you put it out. MY VOTE! BAN SMOKING!!!!!

Typical emotional reaction of an anti-smoker who has no basis in facts - but "just doesn't like something."

I have yet to see a smoker on FR or anywhere for that matter, who claims their are no risks related to smoking - so that one doesn't cut it.

As to banning smoking because you're somewhere with you kids, how often do you bring your kids to bars????

What about the rights of the bar owner that smokes - because you don't like it you think you should have the right to tell them how tey may conduct themselves on their private property???

As to "public" places - smokers are also taxpayers and therefore remain members of the public.

The government wants us to smoke because we are revenue to them. The monies collected off cigarettes more than makes up for the so-called healthcare involved. We have a bar. If we allowed only non-smokers in, we would go broke. They don't spend as much money and would find something else to complain about.

I like that!
