Clearning the smoke

This is interesting - the push for a smoking ban statewide could undo some of the more restrictive local bans, like the one in winfield, because of the exemptions in a bill moving through the House.

All the loopholes sound like it would defeat the purpose of creating clean air in public places. The people who hold out in opposition to smoking bans cling to the freedom and liberty argument. But they're getting overcome by the tide of feelings that smoking infringes on other people's rights, and that people have a right and should have be free of toxic chemicals in the air they breathe. It's just a matter of time.

So the fact that you have the right not to enter a business that allows smoking. Why do you need to invade a business that cleary wants to allow smoking if you against smoking. Stay out. Why does everyone have to go your way (the non smoking ban) Why can't you just stay out of his/her place of business
