Re: non smokers
by LarsT

I have already had to deal with God being taken out of the public

Besides the tortured syntax there, can you show me any evidence that God is not EVERYWHERE in American society?

In a world of ambiguity, the smoking issue is one of the most obvious. In a battle of "freedoms" - freedom to smoke or freedom to be free of smoke, it is just so clear and fair who should win. Non smokers who do NOT want to be actively exposed to passive smoke. You are free to smoke at home and in designated areas. You're lucky to be able to smoke anywhere besides your own home.

You're disgracing the notion of true freedom by using the concept to justify your engaging in a practice that deeply infringes on other people's right to a (relatively) safe, clean, and healthy immediate environment.

Period.
