How about you suck it up and go outside while I smoke inside.

Nobody forces you to stand within 5 feet, or even 50 feet of a smoker. If you are in a bar where people are smoking and you don't like it, then....leave!
Maybe next we should ban drinking in bars! After all, it is bad for your health and the person next to you *could* accidentally spill some into your mouth and you could get second hand drunk. Ahhhhhh.....lets play it safe and outlaw drinking and smoking everywhere! |

"....and go outside to smoke...."
Is there something different about a smoker's dollar compared to a
non-smoker's dollar?
If there isn't, then why should the smoker go outside?
Both are paying patrons that equally deserve the hospitality that the
establishment provides. To force smoker's outside is, quite simply,
inhospitable and discriminatory.
There really is no difference at all between bars and restaurants that are for "non smokers only" and bars and restaurants that used to be, not that long ago, "for whites only".
The result is the same, the disenfranchisement of one in favour of the other. This is quite simply wrong and there is no reasonable justification
for such a hardline approach when an acceptable compromise is possible
Enclosed, high-efficiency, separately ventilated areas should be provided
to smokers. To safeguard non-smokers and salve their induced paranoia of second hand smoke, as they themselves keep on insisting, these areas would be reserved for smokers only.
Problem is the "ban wagon" types are into dictatorial control and any sensible, reasonable compromise is simply out of the question. Their rallying cry will always be "my way or the highway"! |

Um dude, sorry but the noxious gases contained in a cigarette contain more or a higher content of cancer producing chemicals than car fumes do. But your right car fumes are a problem... but smoking is a bigger one. Also cars don't drive inside homes.  |

| Hey guest. Cars do drive in homes. Most garages are attached to homes, therefore part of the home. No one has ever died suddenly from second hand smoke inhaliation from a cig, but they have died suddenly from cars. Don't believe me, test it out. Have a smoker smoke in your garage for an hour, then start your car in a garage for an hour. |
