Thread Name: BS: Smoking vs Non Smoking Venues
Subject: RE: BS: Smoking vs Non Smoking Venues
Where on earth did you get the statistic that most anti-smoking people are pro-gun? Can you give us a source?

I thought the question was about smoking vs. non-smoking venues, not about people forcing their non-smoking policy on smoker-friendly places. Maybe I'm in the wrong thread.

Clinton, if the government can't tell a business owner what he can or can't do, then it can't tell him to hire, or serve, minorities. It can't tell him to ensure the food is free of microorganisms, or served at a safe temperature. It can't tell him to not dump toxic waste on his back 40.

The whole point of having a government is to tell people what they can and can't do, whheter on their own property, or otherwise, to ensure the safety and well-being of the general public.

If you open your doors to serve the public, you are licensable, and if you have a license, you must jump through the hoops that the licensing program requires. I don't see the problem with this.
