I agree, but don't forget who enabled the owner to pay the bills...the customers. Apparently, The People have spoken loudly enough to enact smoking regulations, whether they are right or wrong.

I also remember how so many ignored the cry babies thinking that their sniveling wasn't going to accomplish anything ...

That's the problem - the people who complain are tuned out by those who have more important things to consider and accomplish in life ...

Anti smokers need to get a life instead of crying and that and the multitude of issues they are ALSO crying about .... like national health care, no rights for a fetus, no high powered weapons, and so much more ,,,

Freedom of choice; you too can do whatever you please as long as you accept the consequences.

Get drunk
Light up
Have a gang bang
Jump motorcycles 100s of feet in the air
Drive a SUV
Drive a Tank
Jump out of a airplane without a parachute trying to fly
Speed / Speeding

We all have choices and they all reap a consequence potentially.

Accept reality and know that. Welcome to the Adult World where there is freedom with consequence.

You can never forget your customers, but what if your customers are smokers? You've abandoned their wants and needs by not allowing smoking in your venue, lets get real who goes into a bar with anything healthy in mind? A business owner should be the person who decides what to allow in their business not the government.

Except that you have to remember that the complainers will always get their way.

Maybe, if we installed some people with common sense in the government, we could institute the practice of giving the whiners and complainers a good richly-deserved slap in the face.

This is a generalizing statement. Just because one may be anti-smoke, doesn't mean he/she is everything else you mentioned.

I am not anti-smoke, but I am pro-my health. I am not for national healthcare, I don't believe in abortion except in the case of rape or incest, and I believe in the right to bear arms.

But you do want to control where adults are allowed to commit suicide. (smoke) Even if your not personally in that venue.
