So where in this ban does it say "if you are a smoker, you are not allowed to eat in public?" God forbid you don't smoke at a restaurant for a couple hours. Your body might actually appreciate it.

That's not your call. I always get a kick out of people who decry government interference in personal lives except when they happen to be on the other side of an issue.So where in this ban does it say "if you are a smoker, you are not allowed to eat in public?"

What this ban says is that you cannot have a private enterprise that caters to the smoking public.
What this ban says is that no one can open/operate a restaraunt for people who want to smoke while they dine.(Even if it is clearly posted to that end.)

I don't decry this interference because the people voted at the state level. If the people had voted it down, then so be it.HitsRus;1184998 wrote:That's not your call.

Technically you can if you can generate 80% of your revenue from tobacco sales (which means you have to give away your food). But nonetheless the possibility exists.HitsRus;1184998 wrote:That's not your call.

Something possessed me to go to the Huddle today and I noticed that JJ himself copied this thread.
It's garnered a lengthy 12 post discussion so far.
