Funny, this is generally a left wing issue. Usually you will find democrats
backing this, and citing health reasons to do so. Don't get me wrong, the
republicans have plenty of other bad ideas :)

Our Mayor is pushing hard for a total ban on smoking in eateries. The main
reason is his campaign contributors. He almost got it passed, when we have
a
city council election and 7 members were turned out and the new members will
not
go along with it. It seems that about half of the restaurants in town are
by
the owners' choosing are already smoke-free, as are most of the fast (spell
that
junk) food places. He quickly switched gears and said he would bring it up
for
a public referendum, That is getting nowhere fast as well, because the
newbie
council members have rejected the call for an election as well. It seems
that
the restaurant association feels the public has plenty of choices for places
to
dine, and they are perfectly able to choose the smoke-free, or the divided
smoking/non-smoking restaurants.
This is a city where two (now former) city councilmen, three members of the
local community college board, and several members of a local school
district
are under indictment for official corruption, bribery. etc.
It seems that the medical lobby is biting themselves ever since they
railroaded
through (after failing three times) a law to fluoridate the municipal water
supply, using the "cavities in children" argument. Then they recently
started
another campaign to try to get public funding for free dental care for the
"many
children with cavities." When they were rebutted with the argument, "Why
hasn't
the fluoride treatment removed all that risk, as you claimed it would a
couple
of years ago." They did not have an answer, and now there is a movement to
repeal that law as well, because it was a lie to begin with.
Our atmospheric environment is right on the edge of being in non-compliance
with
EPA regulations due to smoke from Mexico and Central America in the spring,
and
pollution from refineries in the Houston area (200 miles away) that
cigarette
smoke is in reality a non-issue, being so insignificant to the overall air
quality situation. Our power company has just won approval to build an
additional coal-fired power generation plant, with the claim that it will
not
add to the deterioration of the air quality. Geez! When will the truth
ever be
told?
Again, I still believe it should be the restaurant owner's sole decision,
based
on his own market analysis to run a smoke-free or smoking/non-smoking
restaurant, and allow the market decide to either patronize them or not
patronize them.
Why must the right wing constantly and always want to control others? Why
are
non-smokers so stupid that they cannot decide to not patronize an
establishment
if smoking is so offensive to them, and there are plenty of choices to dine
in
the atmosphere they choose?
And I am a non-smoker/non-drinker.

| they are -not- public. they can cater to whomever they wish. if a
restaurant
| owner does not want to permit smokers, or if the public want should lend
him
| more profit and he decides he wants this, so be it. a restaurant owner can
| throw out whatever trash he doesn't want in his establishment. it's -his-.
|
| if you take great exception to that, dont :
|
| * Walk down a public street. Carbon Monoxide is terrible for you.
| * Drink beer, milk or eat red meat. These promote fat growth and
| cholesterol.
| * Use a cell phone, or be near an electrical tower. Brain cancer for
| everyone.
| * on and on and on.
|
| if -you- don't want to be around smokers, that's fine and dandy. but who
are
| you to make demands of the owner of a private business, and what right
does
| the government have to forbid the use of a legal product on their
premesis.
| if you don't like the menu, you don't have any right to demand a change.
get
| up and walk your ass out into the street. just watch out for that carbon
| monoxide.

| Restaurants are public as well. If you want customers that is.
|
| And I take great exception to anybody killing me, slowly or quickly.
