That is perfectly acceptable but a business owner would most likely prefer to cater to the majority, you know...so they could possibly enjoy more sales. For the record, there are several places that I won't go because employees and customers chain smoke. Absolutely disgusting while you're trying to enjoy a meal.
I have yet meet anyone who is addicted to second hand smoke,
Should be a warning on every vehicle thats says carbon monoxide, the silent killer.
I don't smoke and don't like to be in places where there is a lot of smoke. That said I still wonder where anyone gets the right to say that people in this country can't us a legal product in a public place.
Employees shouldn't have to make the choice to work in it or not
I think smoking should be outlawed altogether. I know you won;t agree with me so here is my opinion. I go into a bar and everyone is smoking and I'm not. So now I go home smelling like a chimney. I've talked to several restaurant owners. I'm told the smokers usually buy drinks after a meal while smoking, there spending more money on drinks.
2nd, If you going to smoke, then get years older and have a cancer of some kind or just something wrong with you that smoking has created, you should have enough health insurance to cover it. If you don't have any insurance, then you should not seek medical attention. It's not fair for me to continually pay for your medical bills with my tax money when you were told that smoking could injure you.
When I first moved to Indy, I thought there was a restriction on smoking near doorways or vertical structures or something like that. Did I just make that up or is there something about that?
Yup!!!I'm seriously scratching my head how so many people believe that a private business, owned by a private person, should be forced to abide by a govt's ban of a legal activity. Absolutely baffled.
It's a very slippery slope. If people didn't have the choice to go there or not, then it's a non-issue. How long before we're told that we can't do something in our own home? If I throw a neighborhood BBQ every weekend, am I going to have to worry about the city shutting me down because some of the neighbors that attend don't like that others smoke? It's the exact same logic.
One thing I have learned about this site, it's that many persons here don't understand what freedom and liberty actually mean. For many, this place is literally a "as long as you don't take my gun" place (and rarely anything else). Well people, if you continue to let stuff like this get past you, your guns will eventually fall in the line of sight. You can cling the the 2nd Amendment all you want, but after the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th have all fallen on the wayside, good luck trying to keep your apparently "precious" 2nd Amendment.
This is a hard one for me to defend. Normally, I'm all for private property rights and I think i am here too. But I think smoking should be banned on public land. Let the restaurant/bar decide who they want (i hope they decide against it though), but on the street you shouldn't be smoking. It's akin to peeing on my leg. (You're right to swing your fist stops at my face).
I've actually seen a couple studies that show smokers are less of a burden on the health system than non-smokers. the reasoning is that smokers die off quicker, so you don't have to pay for 20+ years of care and all the other expenses that come with old age.
The nonsmoking section of a restruant is like sitting in the non peeing section of the hottub you make you own choice
