chicago smoking ban, wtf !?!?

[GotWake88]

Smoking bans are undemocratic. It is not a public health issue, it is a property rights issue.

Well the ban has taken place in most areas, so why bitch? It's over, nobody wants to smell ya stanky ass butts in a little spot. It's done, it's over, you're wrong, you lost.

Lets just think like this.... If we don't make it tougher to smoke and make laws stopping it we are essentially saying it is ok to smoke telling our youth that it is not bad... Not making it tougher is just keeping the ignorance alive...

Wow, I just took what you said and imagined someone talking about cannabis and not tobacco. Do you understand how hypocritical this sounds? The government isn't in place to tell people what is morally right and wrong and to make decisions for our youth. It's in place to keep order and protect every citizen's rights, which right now it seems to be failing at.

Again, I imagine someone saying this about cannabis. And no, I'm not wrong. I'm using the same thought that brought about the U.S. Constitution, the ideas of what property rights are. I don't know what your ideological basis is but classic liberalism sure beats the hell out of it, I know that.

You shouldn't smoke near someone who does not like it, no matter what you are smoking. If a bizz is ok with smoke and you are not, don't go there. It's hard when you really think about it though, because you have to think about all the people who work at the place. A stripper doesn't want to smell smoke as she dances, shes breathing hard why the hell would you want smoke in your face. Same for waitresses/bar keeps/and anyone else that is there to make your stay more plesent. Why be a dick, smoke out side. . .

I'm sick of people crying about smoking indoors, it's not your place to tell someone what they get to breath. It's not hard to get off your ass and go outside, it's courtesy, and something that should be determined by the owner. . .

I'm just saying, you smoke around me in a closed area, even if I smoke, you are being a rude prick, and deserve a kickin. Keep your life your life, that's all there is to it. There should be smoking bars, just like there is oxygen bars. . .lol

Another thing is, I hate how people say their addicted, I understand your body becomes use to the smoke. But the problem isn't that. Get some self control and quit if you want to quit. All you are "Addicted" to is the process, get over yourself and you can get over it. I smoked cigs all through high school and quit right after graduation. Wasn't hard at all just stopped, I didn't cry about how much I needed it, and I sure didn't belive all the bull about needing a patch or some crap to help me. If you don't have the will to stop smoking, what else can't you do. . .
