I'm surprised this is happening in the midwest. That's scary. Washington state voters just passed an initiative that bans smoking within 25 feet of any public building whatsoever, obviously no smoking inside either. Bars and Casinos included. Welcome to fascism. Seat belts, smoking, pot, and domestic violence..........okay so domestic violence is bad, mmkay.

I've always been a non-smoker. Two public places where smoking should be alway be allowed are bars and anywhere out side. The "no smoking entrances" to buildings are pure facism. You aren't going to get cancer in the 3 seconds it take to enter a building.

That's a great point, because it isn't about getting cancer, it's that anti-smokers don't like the smell. They gained momentum with the tobacco settlement a few years ago and now nowhere is safe.

My wife can't smoke anywhere on company property, not even inside her car.

I'm not sure that that law (others like it are becoming more prominent) won't be challenged. There's got to be some sort of precident where yes, you're on private property, but you're within your OWN private property smoking. As long as the windows are up, she ought to be able to smoke in her own damn car. Geez.

Been banned in bars here in cali for a while. If you need a smoke just go outside. I hated that shit bieng blown in my face. Smells like crap.

**luv** · 11-15-2005, 04:34 AM

Smoking can do just as much damage and smell just as bad outside as it can a few tables over. Good thing they haven't banned it in bingo halls. The little old ladies would have to start knitting clubs or something.

It should be up to the owner of the establishment, not a law to follow. If you don't like going somewhere because people smoke, then don't go there.

Here's an idea. Go to one of the 3 million local non smoking establishments where the owners DECIDED to not allow smoking. For instance you want to go to the bar but they all have smoking right? No not even close. Most chain restaurants do not allow smoking on the premises. Other than bars you'll have no lack of choices for non smoking refuge. But our society is far too selfish to concern themselves with civil liberties and freedoms when something as important as our own PERSONAL comfort is concerned. Our ancestors would call us all "Sally men" if they could see this shit. "Eww I hate the smell of it, ban it outright."

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the smokers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a smoker.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Sorry, I know that some of you take this stuff seriously. Here in Fayetteville, it was voted on. The voters voted for the smoking ban.
