Ok...refute this one...
Problems with smoke
published: 02/15/05 Letter to the Editor, Sioux Falls Argus Leader
I want smoking to stop because I can't go to places to eat with smoking allowed in them. This is because I have asthma.
I am 8 years old. My sister would also like to eat with me. She does not want to breathe the smoke, either.

Then go to places with non smoking, I am sure there are alot of them where you live. Smokers have rights too!!!!!
No they don't. There is nothing in the Bill of Rights that states that smokers have any rights at all.
As stated before, you can't go anywhere but a fast food restaurant, Minervas, and Chuck E Cheese if you want to be away from smoking and have a meal.
Show me the "Non Smoking Section" in a bowling alley? None. I don't drink when I bowl. Its not a "bar". (don't give me "they have a bar in there...they sell alcohol." Its a weak arguement)
Nobody is saying you can't smoke, just that you should do it outside and stink yourself up. Don't impose it on me.
Oh...also, once again I am right...nobody can refute this post.
If I wish to smoke it is my right and my business, just like if you want to go drink all the time at BWW, that is your business. If people don't like it they can leave. I go to places that are non smoking and eat. I have to make choices whether to go to a place with smoking or non smoking. So can other people.
What's with the Bill of Rights, don't see where it says non smokers have all the rights either.
I would agree with the statement that smokers have rights too IF smoking didn't effect the health of all the OTHER people around them. If I decide to go out to a bar and drink every night it does not effect anyone else's health but my own. That would be a choice I make and it only effects ME. Seems like the only choice a non-smoker has at 90% of all places is..either go and inhale poison or don't go at all. Doesn't seem fair to me.
It should be up to the privately owned establishment whether they will allow (or not allow) smoking. That is the right that should not be trampled on.
If the government imposes a law to ban smoking at restaurants, the nationwide chain restaurants would survive but a lot of the mom and pop types would lose their business.
Freedom of choice folks, the freedom of a privately owned establishment to allow smoking or not and the citizens have the freedom to choose to go there or not.
Once again... Can't refute it.
Same ol tired arguement.
I really think that smokers can be the rudest people. They basically take more time off than other people in the office during the day. It's true, I tracked a smoker that took a break once an hour for 8-19 minutes, total of about 2+ hours of break time that they are on the clock and being non-productive.
If people have a right to smoke, then I should have a right to piss or poop out in the open, it stinks and is messy...just like smoking. The worst part of smoking is the nasty ash trays that are just set out in the open. I always tell smokers when I'm eating not to do it.
Whoever this idiot is that is a smoker's advocate needs his head and lungs examined.
Peace, out...
