How people can claim they have the right to go to a bar and legislate that it be smokefree is astounding to me. I thought we had a constitution in this country.
Hmmm, nothing in the preamble...some stuff about a king...nothing in the first seven articles...wait here's something "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." So the states CAN decide wether or not to ban smoking!

The problem with having a written constitution is that most people choose not to read it. The way I see things, unti cigarettes are an illegal schedule I drug, defined as "drugs considered to have a potential for abuse, and no recognized medical use in treatment in the US", I will keep on smacking myself in the face anytime someone says they have a "right" to smoke.
