I disagree with you entirely skuzzy.
As I kid I suffered from bad asthma. Smoking would trigger or inflame it.
In this good'old'days restaurants, cafes, whatever usually had "no smoking" areas which were clearly defined. Did that stop smokers? No. Smokers would either ignore the signs, move the signs out of view, and ignore requests to stop smoking. Many business owners would simply shrug rather than have a confrontation with a customer.
So, as a victim of a-hole smokers in the past I now relish the rules being imposed on them. Once again, it is KARMA. Smokers failed to respect the rights and requests of others so now non-smokers are the majority we're getting payback.
karma huh?
i didn't do jack **** to you, your family, or any asthmatic, and didn't start smoking until 1992 myself. i chose to smoke as a 19 year old adult because i could not buy booze. ironic huh? all I wanted was a buzz at the dance club to feel loose.
now people like you want to "punish" me and say it is karma or whatever horse **** reason you want.
I can't wait until they outlaw sugar or something like that... and all you nanny non-smoking sweet eating people whine and whine. the health costs of the overweight people must be stopped, so the govenrment will take over and take away the "bad" thing regulating what you can and can not have at a privately owned business. then I can say "karma" back atcha.
all this all is is the same people for prohibition re-incarnated and re-living the past. we all know how that turned out.
