Smoking Ban Statewide as of Jan 1 2008

[Tex]

I think I understand where you're coming from newguy, and I agree. If I owned my own business and wanted to smoke in the establishment then I should be allowed to. Just like smoking in my own house. The government can't tell you not to smoke in your house so why should they tell you not to smoke in your business that you own.

I also see why they made the law and it is because of health issues. I'm sure all these same arguments were happening when they made a law to wear seatbelts in autos. Really though, it is for the better of everyone and even though they are forcing it upon us, it's actually for our own good.


I see your point on freedom vs. respect ...........
