Are you trying to be stupid? Why would you ask me a question about Nashville? I mean, I've been there for a week, but it was for the national DECA competition, wo I never left the peremisis of the Grand Old Opery hotel.
Truly feel sorry for you. But unfortunately this is where I live. So where am I supposed to go out to eat? The answer is 0. There aren't any non smoking restaurants that I know of.

The only unique thing about a resteraunt is the food. If the food is safe, then the buisiness can be viewed equal with any other. If I have a buisiness, I have the right to let people conduct any legal activity I want to let them conduct. You don't have to come eat there.
OK fair point but at the same time, I counter with "hey there are no smoke free restaurants in most states." Slowly there are localities, but as far as I know, the only states that outlawed it are CA, MA, NY, NJ, and DE. So yes I don't have to eat there but what other choice do I have in Redneckville, USA? You would probably say "Well move" Well I did move here not by my choice, but because of financial reasons. I was glad to suck in all the smoke free air in MA for the years I was there when it was illegal to smoke in restaurants and bars. And it was wonderful.

Obviously we are not going to see eye to eye on this one. You don't even seem to recognize smokers as people with equal rights. Grow up.
Agreed. But you and others must also recognize non smokers as people with equal rights. The instant someone lights up in a restaurant it turns the entire place into a smoking establishment. So Smokers have "rights" but they are infringing on a non smokers "rights" as well when they burn "a vegtable" (with toxic drugs etc added) and force people who care about thier health to breath in smoke from it.
