Would someone please tell me why government needs to be involved with telling private citizens, owning a business, whether to allow smoking or not. If a restaurant chooses not to allow smoking...no one smokes...if they allow the weed and you don't like it...don't go in. I don't smoke,
glad to be in a smoke free environment, don't like to pass through second hand smoke at door ways either, but is this government's business? Let the owners decide if they want a smoker's bar or a smoke free bar and let citizens decide if they want to patronize the place. What's so courageous about this vote other than someone gained control??....let people decide how they want to live their lives and be accountable to their decisions.
