But these are not “Public places”! These are PRIVATE BUSINESSES! That is the point.
If the government REALLY cared about public health, they would outlaw tobacco. Period. Stop with all these bullshit laws restricting a legal product. Make the fucking product illegal. End of problem. That will never happen, because politicians don’t give a fuck about you, me or our health. They care about tax money, power, and keeping their jobs. Cynical, yes, but go ahead and prove me wrong.
