I also seldom eat out anymore. Smoker's do longer have any rights in
this country. It's getting so that many rights are disappearing that
people once had.

Sure, you've got plenty of rights. Smoke all you want, burn your
lungs out, it's none of my business. Just don't do it where it
bothers me when I'm going about my business.

I admit it, I used to smoke. I quit some thirty years ago. Now, the
odour of cigarettes and the smell of nicotine comes close to making
me physically sick. I'm not being hypocritical, it's none of my
business what you smoke, what you eat or what you do in your life as
long as it doesn't have an effect on my life. But when it does, how
do you think it should be handled? My going out and eating in a
restaurant doesn't affect you at all. You going out and eating in the
same restaurant and smoking does affect me. What's your solution?

My solution is that the restaurant - or other business owner - should be
able to decide what rules he wants in his/her establishment. It is *not*
the business of the government, became so because of the mind set of the
Smoke Nazis that the world should conform to *their* view of how it should
be.
