I just don't understand the mentality of people who want to make this tax rich legal action, illegal in PRIVATELY owned places.
Again, let the marketplace decide. If a person owns a bar and is dictated to by the government who he can admit and whom he can't (provided they are of legal age) then the government by this action can hurt that owner's business.
If you don't personally like smoke, then go to places that don't allow smoking. Talk to business owners and see if it is profitable for them to close the smoking sections or perhaps seperate them better.
I don't understand why people cannot fucking just work out compromises.
I don't understand how you can sit there and beg the government to interfere and regulate and dictate when this can be handled in the marketplace itself.
Some people in this country worry more about fucking cigarette smoke getting near them than they do with what else is being put into the air, water and very foods we partake of.
Some people complain about smoke, as they pop another xanax, prozac, Zyprexa whatever, so they can get through the day and some of those people get behind the wheels of cars, teach your kids at school, make laws.
If you want to ban smoking in public places..... THEN GET YOUR FATASSES OUT AND TELL THE POLITICIANS TO STOP TAXING CIGARETTES.
There's fucking compromise ok...... you stop taxing my cigarettes, telling me how much of a whatever I am and using the places the tax money made possible through "sin taxes" and I'll stop smoking in public?????
Deal? Until then, take your selfish, "we need government involvement" (yet you complain gov't is too big), cry me a river, petty little bitch ass, and go shove your smoking laws up your ass. Because you are fucking hypocritical, until you stop living off the taxes, you are leeches.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
