But your theoretical person chose to go eat in the restaurant with substandard hygiene and then they died and you would still blame the restaurant (and sue them). Just trying to follow your logic :) FWIW, I'm perfectly happy for some private establishments to remain "smoker-friendly" - I just wouldn't frequent them. It's clear (to me) that mandatory smoking bans have been necessary to get enough "clear air" for those of us who don't want to breathe toxic, smelly second-hand smoke. However, I don't think it's fair on smokers for there to be a total and outright ban everywhere - even tho' I would prefer that everyone gave up the dirty habit. I do, however, support the law that bans adults smoking in cars that contain children (California just added itself to the list of states that already banned this). Children do not have a choice and if parents can't exercise enough restraint not to endanger the health of their children then legislation is needed. Note that police can't pull someone over *purely* for smoking in the car - they can only ticket them for that offense if they have some other reason to pull them over. I'm in two minds about that but I think the ban is a step forward. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:249684 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
