re: #420 ArchangelMichael

I don’t really give too much of a rats ass if smoking is banned in restaurants, but I’d rather the owner of a private establishment be able to make that decision.

Bars on the other hand, that is completely ridiculous. They are supposed to be dens of vice. People in them, are not supposed to be overly concerned with their health. When I step foot in a bar, I’m making a conscious decision to spend the evening doing various unhealthy things. And as for the “safety of the workplace” nonsense… seriously, no one is forcing anyone to work there, and almost everyone I know that works in a bar not attached to a restaurant smokes themselves.

Yep. Was seeing that today. I was doing some work in an office today and who’s out in the back of the bar smoking? The bar workers. I find it odd going to bar these days and not being able to smoke.
