re: Mandeville to consider banning smoking in bars

So? Because you choose to be in a bar does not mean you automatically approve of some trailer trash smoking near you. What % of the public would be against this? I'd suspect very little.
Do you ? Aren't you 20?

I tend to agree with "don't like it, don't go". The business owners have to deal with the potential loss of business themselves. I'm a non-smoker and if a bar allows cigs inside I either anticipate smelling like shite or don't go.
ETA: my main point is that the government shouldn't be regulating this much of what businesses do. It'd be like saying no alcohol in restaurants

And good luck finding non smoking bars in small towns in South Louisiana.
Maybe in 10 more years. Takes a little time for those towns in Louisiana to catch up to the rest of the nation.

No shite. It's absurd this is an even an issue.

How tight are the ropes that are forcing you to be there? I don't approve of my buddy fricking the fat girl with a herp on her lip at the end of the bar but he choose to do that

So, because you engage in something that means you have no right to want it to be better for you and the public? Seems pretty simplistic and stupid.

Other cities all over the U.S. have enacted smoking bans in bars YEARS ago...and the bars are still open and thriving.
Yeah that's bullshite.
My company had a big maintenance contract with a chain of truck stop casinos in the area. When the smoking ban was enacted, business declined dramatically. We lost our contract. Business owner specifically cited the smoking ban as the reason. I lost hours at my job. Some of the locations closed.

You willingly engage in an activity. You know the risks. Why would I feel sorry for you smelling smoke in a smoking bar? That's like going to a football game and complaining about the noise.

Where is this constitutionally protected "right" to smoke in bars?
Jesus Christ retard alert. Is this an actual comment? From your head? Where's your constitutional right to be a little pussy and bitch about inhaling a little smoke. Jesus Christ I don't understand the desire to take the choice from the business owner. But whatever, save me daddy government from all those meanie smokers because I'm too much of a sheep to make my own decisions and let the market work naturally.

Does a non-smoker have a right to demand that someone take the financial risk to open a bar and then tell that owner how he should run his business? If the owner wants to serve only customers that are okay with smoking, why should a non-smoker be able to use government to force the owner to not allow smoking? It's his damn business. He doesn't want or need the militant non-smoker's business.
I guess the bar owner should just be able to say frick drinking age laws too because he'll make more money being able to sell to more people.

It's amazing people can't grasp this concept.

You seem to be under the impression that smoking is illegal. It is not. Underage drinking is illegal.

Why should I feel sorry for you having to go smoke outside? You still can patronize any bar you want and smoke outside.

You sound upset, baw. Mad that you have to go outside to smoke on you death sticks? At least they haven't touched your Big Gulps yet.

Why can't you go to a bar that doesn't allow smoking and smoker go to a bar that does?
You are mistaken for what I want. I'm not saying every bar should allow smoking, I'm saying every bar should have to right to decide that for themselves.
Also I will state again that I have never smoked in my life and hate the smell of it. But I hate overregulation every more.

You're doing work in this thread. I would have elaborated more on my responses but you've covered the fundamental issue effectively, and I don't understand how the commies dont get this

When a city creates an law/ordinance to prohibit smoking in certain areas that is enforceable by fine, it is in fact illegal to do so in those areas.

This isn't "over regulation". The general public has been behind anti smoking measures for years, even in red states.
