You are all experiencing what the rest of America (or what is left of it) is experiencing. WAKE UP! This is corporate govermental control over your lives! If you do not believe this, then you are asleep. Second hand smoke is what they are blowing up your keister.

But yet I cannot drive my car in California, or use my lawnmower, or use my rope lights, light bulbs,my duplicate house key, the lock in my door or pretty much anything else I use on a regular basis, because it is Known in California to cause cancer and birth defects. I find many "studies" out of California to be skewed in the direction of those who pay for them.

For those tavern owners b!tching about "a smoking ban will put me out of business." You need to think about your business plan. If you think the only reason you have your clientele is their ability to smoke, you have a problem, if it TRUELY is why your clientele comes in, then you definitely have a problem. If the only reason people come in to your establishment is to smoke, then what does that honestly say about the atmosphere you are providing? If you are truly a community gathering place, a statewide ban would only benefit your business…think about it, the people who are coming in have come in for years right?? So if they cannot smoke at any other establishment, why leave the place they like to hang out? They won’t…if you have more to offer than just somewhere to light up. And get this, the people who want somewhere to hang out or meet up, but cannot stand to smell like a cigarette…they will come too, for the community, and the pool, dart, volleyball, etc. leagues, Think about why nonsmokers statistically don’t stay, the smell, the cloudy atmosphere, etc. Whether I smoke or not is irrelevant, I tend bar, and talk to the people who come in…I have based my response on clear business sense, living and working in states with and without bans, and the conversations I have had with customers.

Public smoking is extremely rude. The smoker shows no regard for others by allowing the smell of tobacco to permeate everything around him. The smoke causes discomfort of the olfactory system in others. The potential to initiate sickness in others is obvious, ranging from sinus headaches to possible cancer. Tobacco is a toxic product and shouldn't even be allowed for sale. The concept of smoking areas in public places is a ridiculous as a peeing area in a swimming pool. I'd like to go to public places for entertainment without putting up with smoke. Just wait and see if business doesn't improve for tavern owners after the ban.

I work at an appliance shop. We have been in business since the 40's. This entire time we have been able to smoke in the shop, as customers are shopping upstairs. This new law is moronic, not to mention a hundred other words for it that I could come up with at the drop of a hat. But yet my children go to school and are all short of books, teachers, funding, etc. But what the hell, lets ban public smoking. Am I the only person who sees problems that need to be addressed before yet another stupid law is instated??? Lets address our elderly and lack of medical and prescriptions, etc. Now lets move to illegal immigrants, for whom we are paying for them to live here, we pay their insurance, their taxes, medical, housing, food, etc. To wrap this all up I think this is the most anal law I have ever heard of. Soon we will all be ending all of our comments with "Hail Hitler" instead of "God Bless".

When will YOU people stop being so paranoid about the government as if it's some unseen group of people trying to to take away your rights? It's legal!! So was slavery!! Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.The will of the people is being carried out here, the will of the Majority! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!! The law is designed to protect the rights of workers who have to work in second-hand smoke as part of their jobs!!

I found an Electronic Cigarette that allows me to smoke in banned areas
and I really like it. The reason is because when you exhale there is no smoke only vapor and they allow you to choose the level of nicotine that you want. Friday on CNN they did a piece on the Electronic Cigarettes and said the same thing plus a number of other positive points.
