I should probably clarify that I don't smoke, so they are probably not my poisons that your sucking on. Either way, I agree that it would be nice if other peoples habits didn't adversely affect my health, it is just not practical. Car exhaust has been shown to have many of the same carcinogens as cigarettes, that includes the benzen and Formaldehyde.

you are absolutely right but i think the owner of the property should be allowed to make this decision.
Property owners, given a lack of legal guidelines, will typically act solely in their own financial interests. This is one of the reasons why governments impose regulations.
another possible explanation is: right or wrong, necessary or not, governments / lawmakers generally make more and more and more laws.
The only thing that explains is how little effort you're putting into studying the issues in detail.
you are absolutely right. sorry i missed the part where you enlightened us with your extensive research on the merits of residential smoking bans.
Right, because your initial retort just stank with master's thesis-level research and presentation.
no, it did not. neither did yours. neither did anybody else's. but thats ok it's only a message board.

As soon as cars are driven inside bars or restaurants, I'll give a shit.
so it's fine that cars are polluting everybody's air outside (like children, the elderly, people with respiratory problems, pregnant women, babies, etc..) whether they like it or not. but it's not cool to smoke inside a bar with the owner's permission because some adults, who still willingly entered anyway, don't like it?
