I’m with you on this.  I lived around smokers all my life and survived.  AND, I have enjoyed the pleasure of tobacco myself.  Yes, even Christians enjoy.  Charles Spurgeon smoked cigars almost his whole life. 

I hate the whole anti smoking Nazi’s brigade.  Chicago has gone smoke free and it’s a mess.  Bars are empty.  I have a friend who owns one and he says that people come in have one drink and go home.  That means they don’t linger and don’t spend money. 

I know Mike Huckabee wanted to outlaw Smoking.  I believe he will hear from God on this one.  Or at least Charles Spurgeon.

Old tigers, sensing the end,
they’re at their most fierce. 
And they go down fighting.

Seems to me that private businesses have the right to allow smoking if they want to, or ban it.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

As a business owner myself, I believe the owner should have the sole right to decide what the business does or does not do. My business is private property and aside from taxing me, what gives the gov’t the right to say how I run my business?
I personally don’t believe the gov’t really does want to have a say in my business but it’s the asinine people out there forcing the gov’t to get involved.

A better way to handle this would have been to launch a PR (formerly referred to as propaganda) campaign to get smokers to remember to be courteous of others. That way, the rights of all involved would have been taken into consideration.

Here is an interesting series of videos that show you that the government has the ability to do this.

Absent Starr’s (sadly impermissible) solution from Glory Road, I’d say the Owner of the business responded as forcefully and appropriately as possible.

It’s funny to watch just what gets people riled up about personal property rights.

Versus that nebulous “public space” concept where nobody ever seems to own anything and everybody gets to make the rules.
