First of all, freedom is limited to you're ability to do harm to others, you cant fire off guns in a bar because you feel like it. Smoking causes health risks to others, period. How many studies of this do you need to see. Not-smoking doesn't cause damage to anyone. The government sided with the non-smokers for obvious reasons. I LOVE to smoke when I drink, but I think it is disgusting to sit in a bar that is a giant cloud of smoke. I am biased because I am born and raised in California, but here I dont see what the big fucking deal about going outside is all about. I actually like to get some fresh air.
