I am a smoker and really think they are in overkill on this smoking ban. OK, I understand it in family restaurants, but bars or private clubs - will it be in private homes next? Give us a break! I am getting sick of seeing these commercials on TV about second hand smoke every 5 seconds. Yes, we all know that smoking is bad for you, but I think we've got so many more issues in this world to worry about. I personally don't drink and am not crazy about people having a few drinks at dinner and getting behind the wheel of a car when I'm on the road. Why not tax alcohol to the hilt? Alcohol kills too. Not to mention the vast amount of people on the roads these days have a cell phone glued in their ear. Talk about hazardous to your health! Was just wondering if anyone out there in states who have smoking bans agree or disagree.

Special note to Michelle. FYI, I am not a rude smoker and have beautiful white teeth. From what you said, if you don't smoke, then you will live forever... CORRECT?? I didn't realize that. Thanks so much for the info. I just asked for opinions, not nasty comments on my personal life.

Everyday all Americans are slowly watching their rights being stripped away. This is so wrong. You are correct to think what' next. In NJ and CA it is illegal to smoke in your car if their is a child of a specific age with you. Slowly, slowly chipping away. I don't smoke, but smoking, last I heard was legal. Check out Ron Paul. He is serious about getting back our rights. It's time we as Americans stop this idiocy of stripping away our freedoms.

Yea, laws are getting a little out of control.. I'm fine with the smoking ban, as long as it stays where it is.. Bars and clubs are having to let people in and out to smoke. So that's fine with me.
The alcohol on the other hand is bogus.. If they have a law like that, people need to know if they're actually legally allowed to drive. You can't say it's ok to drink and drive as long as your not past the legal limit cause people don't know if they are or not. Either put breathalizer tests in bars and clubs or make it completely illegal. All the current law seems to do is set people up to break it. I think it's garbage..

We have a smoking ban in Ohio too. I believe if people want to smoke let them smoke. I am not a smoker, I am allergic though. I don't drink and drive but I do enjoy the occasional drink at the bar with my friends. I am able to enjoy it alot more because the bars arent filled with smoke.... :)
no offense to anyone out there
but back to my original point, if someone wants to smoke, let them smoke. My boss smokes, and he's responsible with it. He has a new baby girl and he goes outside to smoke!

Give me an F, Give me an O, Give me a R! What does that spell FOR! Sorry but they are only thinking about your health and the people around you there health is important to. Every smoke you have is one day less you will live, Turns your teeth brown and your finger nails yellow ewww! It damages your heart and lungs and cause heart attacks, If you wanna die continue smoking. The people around don't go to the bars to smell smoke, The smell is disgusting and its Toxic,
How you said about alcohol you dont see people when you drink it coughing and smelling smoke. Alcohol also is not a drug like tabbacco. Hope you care about the people around you cause every smoke you smoke they smell is one day less they live, Hope you dont have KIDS! they will die young.
Please people this Ban is for good reasons,
*~Michelle~*

I'm for any smoking law but it's not for the government to tell people what to do, if someone wants to smoke and die then that's their right.

I'm against it. If an adult wants to smoke, let the adult smoke.
