Smoking Bans
tigger asked:


What do you think about the increase in smoking bans and antismoking legislation? What constitutional issues do smoking bans raise? Do you agree with them? Do you think violations of smoking bans should be treated as civil or criminal infractions? What, if any, exceptions should be provided by such laws?

    The first country in the world to have a smoking ban was **** germany. I think that sums up the direction i think our fascist government has taken.

    They’re inevitable. Smoking is just NOT a socially “acceptable” habit anymore… And the More people who DON’T Smoke, the MORE bans there will be- on those who DO. It’s just a “sign of the Times…”- Nothing more… Society “rules”. :(

    There are laws to protect persons from others who present a danger to them. E.g., laws against drunk driving. Smoking around others is proven to be harmful. Therefore, it is appropriate to create criminal sanctions against this behavior.

    I think you have a right to use whatever drug gets you through the day, but you have no right to impose your choice on the rest of us. Keep your needles and your smoke to yourself.

    i don’t know about the law but I love the bans in restaurants and in bars, i love to have an occasional cig when i am having a drink, however outside is the place, it’s so gross while i am trying to eat to smell smoke and who can have a good time in a bar with a cloud of smoke and not everyone should have to suffer the second hand smoke, since not everyone is a smoker and it is really bad for you

    I believe that in restaurants they shouldn’t be able to. If people have to smoke so bad, just wait until your done eating and leave the restaurant. I do however believe that in a bar they should be able to, bars are made for drinkers and smokers…
