People who go to bars and fancy restaurants generally do so for the purpose of enjoying themselves. Few people will go to a restaurant to spend $30 or more on a meal they know they're not going to enjoy.

Bingo. The "enjoyment" of the dining experience is the argument advanced by both sides. Neither ardent smoker nor non-smoker apparently can enjoy their meal in the environment preferred by the other. So, what should be done?

For the person who prefers liberty to tyranny, the answer is simple. Where you are the host, you set the rules. Where you are the guest, you abide the rules of the host or you remove yourself as a guest.

Under the capitalist system we have buyers and sellers. Buyers and sellers implies the existence of private property. If you can't figure who is the host and who is the guest, it is because you lack an understanding of liberty and property.

Beautifully stated, laredo.

It all sounds so simple, doesn't it? I'm shocked that so many seem not to get it.

Regards,
