My bottom line: a smoker's rights end with the air that I breathe. |
You are so full of self righteous nonsense.
You have the CHOICE to use that privately owned business or not.
You have the CHOICE whether or not to "expose" yourself to the dangers of smoke filled air.
You are trying to restrict others from having a CHOICE.
A business that allows smoking would be an inherently dangerous place, you have the CHOICE whether or not to go there or work there. It is exactly the same thing as a dynamite plant in that respect.
You wanting to be lazy about having to make a choice should not deny others the right to choose.
