Another attempt by liberals to regulate everything we do.
Keep watching and eventually you will see them coming after red meat and salt.
They will only get my steak when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Your liberty to smoke stops at my lungs. Maybe before you complain about this you should go out and purchase an air purification system so all YOUR smoke will be contained in YOUR apartment.
Barring that I suggest that if you are a smoker, you and any other smokers simply go to the top of a multi-story parking garage and leap off....

Where does it say in any law that you have the right to deny me or anyone else clean fresh air? I, frankly, don't care if you want to kill youself with the filthy habit of smoking. Be my guest. I don't want to be a part of it. Countless studies have proven time and again that second hand smoke contributes to many diseases and aggrivates many others. If you could have an air tight room that would be purged of smoke and foul smells where you could smoke and not affect anyone else I would say go for it. Right now since the smoke travels I think those California cities are looking out for the MAJORITY of people who don't smoke and who don't want their healt screwed up by someone who does. More cities shoud follow their lead.

Because you're not smart enough to exercise those freedoms responsibly. Only they know what is good for you, and only they can be trusted to steer you on the right path.
But boy, quote "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple" (1Cor 3:16-17). and you can REALLY watch the fur fly!

Because liberals think they know what is best for everyone. Personally I think fat people should be banned from eating in public, they make me lose my appetite when I see them walk into a restaurant.

THere is no "right" to smoke. What one does to their own body is their business, but when it infringes on others' right to breathe clean air, that, in essense, trumps smoking priveleges. Deal with it.

Yes, freedom to kill people from your second hand smoke is a great freedom to have. Not to mention yourself.
