Hello, you are so right… I hate to sit by people drinking and driving.
Why don't they do something about those who like to drink { ALCOHOL }
Alcohol kills more people then smoking and it cost medical bills as well with liver diease, and domestic abuse smoking don't but do they jack up the price so they can't afford it do they take out of the dinning places NO!!!! I stared smoking as a young child remember the candy cig. that is when I stared and now they say you can't smoke any where who died and gave them the right… I would thinking that the ones telling mr how to live need to clean up thier own back door and stay out of mine.. THE GOVERMENT controls to much of my life 1.no smoking 2.in order to work in Flordia you have to pay to work here {taxes} Freedom hell….no one cares about us low payed worker and when they shut down the cig. inds. is obama going to give them a bail out too. with out us smokers who will they pick on next. thank for letting me vent.

Interesting – I didn't think this would fly, but they are finding a lot of support.

I am just wondering if smoking is allowed at the State Fair (indoors or out) With all the food that is being served I would think smoking would be banned. I wonder how that will effect the numbers attending the fair.

Non-Smoking sections in restaurants held more real estate per establishment than smoking sections. Smoking sections were also equipped with ventilation systems as to not drift over into the non-smoking section. That was a wise decision by business owners. Give each a little room and respect. But non-smokers have no respect for anyone other than their whinny selves. Therefore they deserve no respect from smokers either.

You all keep running to the government to fight your battles, because the truth be told, they are cowards. They are unable to confront what bothers them themselves so they have Big Brother do their bidding. Naturally the ban was supported mostly by the Democrats in state government. Democrats seem to think that we need a Nanny State, they want a Nanny State and by God they are going to get it with the wusses out there today. You all will reap what you sow. Keep asking for more and more government intervention and pretty soon you can’t even take a piss without asking for Gov. Chets permission.

Freedom is never free, and this is one fight I intend to keep fighting. Why? Because I respect Freedom, obviously you whiners don’t.

By the way, I can’t stand the sight of fat people stuffing their faces with foods that are bad for them, so if I whine long enough do you think ole Uncle Chet will make restaurants and bars have a “skinny section” so not to offend my sensibilites?

Ban Fat People Now!

I believe the point that everyone is ignoring is the fact that America is a free country, built on the backs of her citizens. In a Free Country people have a CHOICE on what they want to do, where they want to go, how they want to live their lives. In a Free Country people are not told by government officials what they can and cannot do. Again, we have a CHOICE. Or I should say we did have a CHOICE. If I am a business owner and I pay all of my taxes to run that establishment to the State, I should therefore have the CHOICE of what kind of people I want patronizing my business.

Meyers obviously knows what he’s doing and how to “level the playing field” to make his congressional race more competitive. This is a sure way to defeat both Latham and Greenwald. It’s grassroots campaigning at it’s finest and for a helluva cause! Repeal the ban!
