I've been discussing the smoking issue, but have a couple of business owners claiming that the government is taking away their rights. They believe that the government should not pass nor enforce anti-smoking laws, but I'm curious to find out if it was ever illegal to ban smoking from any businesses at all. I'm especially wondering about restaurants, clothing stores (where merchandise could be ruined by smoke and it could be a real fire hazard), schools (by teachers), or anyplace.
So, in your area, was it ever ILLEGAL TO BAN smoking from anyplace? Please ask your parents, and especially your grandparents or older neighbors who might know.
There are a few points I am about to make to them (on a group, not here), comparing the smoking issue to some other issues, but I want to see if anyone here comes up with my same thoughts before I post it to them.
Thank you in advance for participating.
