Just a question- How many here for for the legalization of marijuana and the ban of smoking in bars or even cigarettes altogether?
Also, many people claim that smokers are impinging on their (apparent) right to be free of smoke wherever they go. I guess I have to remind you that when you enter a bar, you are entering someone's private business operation, not the public square. If you enter a bar and don't like smoking, find another bar. It is (once again) about freedom.

1) I don't think personal freedoms are imutable.
2) Two seperate issues. Legalize marijuana... Just don't smoke it in public places.
3) Private businesses are subject to all sorts of zoning by-laws. Smoking laws are just another in a long list. A bar or club is a public space (i.e. a space were the public convenes and therefore subject to the rule of law). Someone's home is another matter.
