    It's ridiculous if you ask me. Most of you mention bars as if they are indeed public places, but in actuality they are private businesses, and the business owners should be able to make the decision as to whether their establishment allows smoking indoors.

    You know you make a good point. The owner should be able to make a decision on what goes on in his/her business but what if it affects the rights and "possible" well being of other customers?

    Hard to argue with that. I hope it happens that people can't smoke in public but you made me think about it a little.

    What about the rights of other customers? Doesn't it go you have rights until you violate the rights of others?

    Wow you nailed that! If you own a business why should you have to worry about such things?

    That's how I see it too. Like I said I don't mind not smoking around people that don't want me to smoke but it should be my choice.
