The law in many place says different. And those laws are spreading. You don't like it. Too bad. Smokers don't have the right to contaminate the air breathed by others. How about I move next door to you and start a pig farm and burn trash 24/7? It's my 'private property right'.
Wrong. Most, if not all Agricultural townships have ordinances that basically read, If the hog farm is there first, and you move in and don't like the smell, tough (pig) *expletive deleted*it. Being a farmer, I know all about such regs.
The property right is the right of children, the elderly, the infirm, indeed everyone to be protected against obnoxious pollution from smokers. My body is my property. Get it? Don't poison my air, and don't do anything to jeapordize my health. You can't control your addictions? Then the law will. Grow up. You live in a society and there are other considerations than your own selfish desires.
You're right, comrade! The VFW or Applebee's that Allows smoking ought to be locked up, It's for the children after all
.
You don't like the air in a given establishment, stay the hell out.
Again, this from a non smoker.
