No. If I hated my job, I would find another one. In fact, I did not like working at a place, so I decided to work somewhere else, and guess what- it worked. Do you live in some weird world where people are not able to change jobs? Do you hate your job?

What if smoking is outlawed and people still hate their jobs? Will they still be stuck there? Your arguement seems silly to me.

If so, than you should see how silly your argument is. "Let them eat cake" has never been a good answer to anything.
I don't think my arguement is silly at all. I do, however, think the "ban everything filtherton thinks is bad" is not much of an answer (see:SUV's).

I am 21 and have been working the the restaurant industry since I was 17. It is not at all hard to change the place you work. However, that is not the point. Like I said before, the issue comes down to individual liberty for me. That is where we fundamentally disagree.

You think you have the right to have to have smoke-free air wherever you go. I say you have the right to not go places where there is smoke.
