Shade, you can just post one long reply instead of 8 individual replies.
I'll keep you happy then and do as you suggest.

If you have a no-smoking friend...
Why on earth does it seem sometimes that the smokers feel like Im attacking them...
Did you happen to notice where I said that I didn't smoke? The ban on smoking doesn't affect me personally, but I take a stand on principle.
our little city of Alta didnt HAVE a non-smoking bar.
Then maybe someone should have tried opening one!

Tobacco and alcohol isnt illegal.
It is for those under a certain age. Wasn't that a part of the complaint?
Essi said:
I dont feel like commenting everything you said as I have written most of the things I would say already. Clearly you want drugs legalized like many others.
So you just dismiss my position and don't bother to address my arguments?
Essi said:
I sincerely hope none of you need to live up your own words and ideology in a situation where your own kid dies on drugs or gets killed by addict... because I dont want to think you could.
Yep, that's what you did.
So, you don't think that drug-related crime would decrease if drugs were legalized? Do you disagree that most drug-related crime is a result of disputes between dealers/gangs or from people committing crimes to pay for their drug habit? Do you disagree that if drugs were made legal they would cost less?
Essi said:
Still all smokers are pretty much attacking everyone who even slightly understand these smoke banning laws or health causes.
Gee, when did I start smoking? How come nobody told me?

Some bars can be smoking, some non-smoking...

Not the people who like to control other's lives, or the people who don't think that people should take responsibility for their choices.

Yeah the governments job is to inform but definatly to mandate too. This of course applies to everything.

For the record:
I do not smoke. I never have and I never will.
I do not use drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. Never have, never will.
I find it amazing how people scream for the government to help take care of them, while not bothering to do anything to take care of themselves.
You want a non-smoking bar?
Open one! If enough people want one, you'll probably make a lot of money. That's sure what happened to the non-smoking bar here. But if only a few people want one, you won't make money. So, I guess that means that those few people now have the right to dictate to the many who want to permit smoking in bars?
It's called "tyranny of the minority".
It was smoking. Now it's cell phones and fast food. Tomorrow, who knows?
All in the name of "public safety."
Here's something to ponder: Freedom or safety. Choose one.
For me, I choose freedom.
