Quote by: Osborn F Enready You neglect to ADMIT that you enter a smoking establishment (owned by a private owner) of your own free will. YOU GIVE THEM THE RIGHT to injure you, when you WILLFULLY ENTER A SMOKING ESTABLISHMENT. |
This must be a states right issue because there are no smoking establishments in California anymore.

Maybe where you are, but in CA. there is no smoking allowed in any public areas because it

Quote by: Osborn F Enready The government has no power to regulate a person from harming themselves through personal choice, except in suicide, which is technically constitutionally illegal. |
They do it all the time. seat belt laws. Helmet laws. Building codes, mandatory warning labels. OSHA saves us from ourselves. Standards are our friends. We are regulated for our own good a hundred times a day, we just dont think about it. Traffic Lights are a perfect example, does the government have a right to tell us to stop at signals and at train tracks when a train is coming?
Adults harm innocent kids with cigarettes. Who will protect the kids from adults who are too dumb to not smoke?
Do kids who cant read "smoking establishment" signs, have any right to breathe clean air?
