These poor waitresses who only make 2 bucks an hour, and they're getting emphysema because they have to work in this horrible environment.

If IA tried that crap, people would move out more than they do now...<br /><br />Mrs. Who: Agreed on the smoking/non-smoking areas. If customers don't like it, they may choose to go elsewhere.<br /><br />Many people tell me that businesses "would [ban smoking] anyway". I tell them that's entirely different in principle. There's a ton of liberty in a business being allowed to determine it's own fate versus a government entity forcing it's hand... <br /><br />My other part to the argument is that, if the concern were really to keep people safe from the apparent dangers of tobacco, the government, in it's infinite, controlling "wisdom" would outlaw them.Hapkidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504614784293274146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431495.post-27538481877866125602010-01-10T17:24:46.090-06:002010-01-10T17:24:46.090-06:00Another non-smoker here (although I did in my bar-...Another non-smoker here (although I did in my bar-hopping days in college). And I don't care if a business owner allows smoking. If I don't like it, I just won't go there. Now, at a restaurant, if they can adequately divide non-smoking from smoking, again, I don't care.<br /><br />These kinds of laws are only 'protecting' us from having and enjoying our freedoms.Mrs. Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756079166320905027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431495.post-62141578317204990262010-01-10T10:15:18.078-06:002010-01-10T10:15:18.078-06:00Yeah, I'm not a smoker eitehr - never even tri...Yeah, I'm not a smoker eitehr - never even tried one cig, seriously, I'm not lying. But - all this no smoking here there or anywhere does irritate me for the same reason. I don't like being around smoking so if someone is, I move. My prerogative to move. And yeah, the government of NC gets more corrupt and more nazi and more nanny state ever year.pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705560228719188201noreply@blogger.com
