I hate these, honestly, why shouldn't people be allowed to smoke in a bar? I can understand at a restraunt, but wtf, a bar?!?! Also, why aren't they doing anything about fat people. Why not a nationwide ban on trans fat. Do you think obesity is a taboo subject? For example it seems acceptable to tell a smoker to quit smoking but is considered cruel to tell a fatso to stop stuffing his face with food.

It's not the fatso's fault that he's fat...it Big Food and Corporate McDonald's! lol!
I mean, come on, a bar?! What the heezy is up with that? If you go to a bar you should expect to see:
smokers
pool players
karaoke (depending on the bar)
a bunch of drinkers
"touch screen" peeps
drunks
laughing
fighters...possibly
That is what I expect to see and that's what I had a part in!
Now, some schmuck comes in just to b**ch about smokers?!
A restaurant, understandable. A store, again, understandable. BUT AN FN' BAR?! Damn liberals and them telling us how to treat our bodies! Have an abortion but don't smoke, okay?!

As a smoker, I was very cross to wake up this morning and hear that smoking in my car - which I do frequently - is now banned. No notice, no warning. My car is not a company car, I rarely have passengers (and if I do, I don't smoke) and I don't dispose of my cigarettes out of my window. I have been smoking longer than I have been driving, and I can easily find and light a cigarette without taking my eyes off the road - I find it more distracting trying to change the radio station. And in 15 years of smoking whilst driving, I have never once dropped a cigarette in my lap. After a bit of research, however, I discovered that smoking is not banned, as such - it is simply against advice. If you are driving dangerously, committing a driving offence or involved in an accident whilst smoking, then you are going to face a more serious penalty. However, smoking in your car is considered inadvisable rather than illegal and a contributary factor if you do something wrong. So, I shall still be happily lighting up whilst driving - it's about the only place I can smoke without pissing someone off nowadays.

So you were picked out,discriminated against,now you want to pick on Fat People? The whole problem is being picked out,that should not happen,freedom for all. I thought smoking sections were fair,it is smelly,but banning it,that is a step way too far,it feels wrong. What you said about Fat People,that's the next target,we are becoming targets.We must stop this insanity before it gets out of hand.

Smokers are getting a bad rap. People are fine with this for now, but wait until smoking even in your own car or house is outlawed and they move on to the next vice--drinking. Or overeating. Eventually, the "anti-bad habit" crowd will step on too many toes.
Even though I don't smoke anymore I sometimes want to light a cigarette just to blow the smoke into the face of some holier-than-thou schmuck.

There is a town in Massachusetts that is trying to ban trans fats from restaurants.
Also there is a "click it or ticket" law; you can be fined for not wearing your seatbelt.
In Maine, if you are caught smoking in your car w/an underage passenger, you will be fined. (This one I agree with, but the concept of being watched still freaks me out.)
Someone here mentioned there is a town in Ontario Canada that wants to ban smoking in HOUSES. How will this be enforced?
It turns out we're all a bunch of dolts who can't think for ourselves. Not to mention business owners who have worked their a**es off and have little say in the matter.
Yet cigs are still sold, advertised and legal (oh and highly addictive) because they generate so much money in taxes.

Let the Bar owners decide, they own the business, not the consumer. If people have a problem with it start smoke free bars instead. No government would be needed and you can make a profit.

The morbidly obese are a new group of victims that liberals can use to wrest more money from tax payers. Smokers are people who support big Tobacco.
The fight from the left has nothing to do with health and everything to do with ushering in big government and squashing property rights and individual responsibility.

Smoking bans are wrong and completely against civil liberties. We ban smoking, why not drinking or eating excessively? All of those activities harm our bodies yet we only frown on smoking.

We will get our trans fat ban in the next few months in Canada.
As for the smoking ban, I can't understand that they keep to ban it everywhere and still keep it legal... In Ontario, there is a city that even want to ban smoking in houses!!!
This game is getting ridiculously hypocrite...

I agree. Limiting the freedoms of a business whether or not to choose permitting of smoking, or use of trans fats is wrong.
