The real issue is the safety of the workers. Restaurants and bars are not public places. As a patron, you don’t have to be there. And you don’t have the right to sit in a smoke-free environment if you choose to go there. Some restaurants (McDonalds for example) choose to be smoke-free because there was a customer push, not a government mandate. The workers have to be there. Is the owner responsible for providing an environment that won’t cause harm to the employees? To protect employees, offices are smoke free. Coal mines have regulations on air quality. The argument for restaurants and bars as a smoke-free workplace is the only one that makes sense to me. (Of course, you can counter with having the employees sign a waiver or choosing to work somewhere else…) ---

I’m with these twat waffles. Bars and restaurants are privately owned. The government has no right to tell business owners that they can’t smoke a cigarette in their own bar. The government is stripping away our rights just slow enough that we don’t notice. Wake up you stupid faggots. ---
