That's what happens when you vote for democrats.
I suppose we better get used to it.

Land of the semi-free.

Finally, the dems do something right. I can't wait...it'll be nice to be able to head to the pool hall without smelling like an ashtray afterwards.

Sorry, law unconstitutional.
Clear violation of right to privacy. Towns don't get to declare themselves autonomous republics outside of the jurisdiction of the protections guaranteed by being a citizen of the United States.
The end.

What would the difference be between this and some town in Texas banning all homosexual sex acts inside any domicile with a window?
The law can't tell people what to do in there own fucking house.

While I realize that second hand smoke kills people....

...I'd also like to point out that bad drivers kill people too. Can we please ban bad drivers?

Banning someone from smoking in their own home is wrong.

I'm pretty much ok with the banning of it inside the workplace, though.

Have you talked to your neighbors? Told them it bothers you?

We're not all monsters, you know. Just because us smokers want to kill ourselves, doesn't mean we want to kill you non-smokers.

If I was living in an apartment complex, and smoking in my apartment, I would stop and smoke outside, if you told me it was getting into your apartment and annoying you. Just because I smoke, doesn't automatically make me an uncivilized asshole. So please don't treat me like a criminal.

Why do we need to legislate this?

Lazy people.

I'm all for banning it in public places, but to ban it in a private residence, apartment/condo or not, seems a little bit harsh. I would like to see it happen, sure, but I don't believe it'd be considered legal.

THANK you.

And I concur w/what SuicidePuppies said. Any reasonal person, if told by a neighbor that smoking, loud music, etc. was bothering them, would take steps to resolve it.

New Hampshire?
Live Free or Die
,my ass.
Live Free AND Die.
haha

It does? Who? I can see if you were trapped in a small room with no ventilation and a carton burning at all times, maybe, sure. Makes sense. But where are all these dead waitresses and bartenders who got lung cancer from secondhand smoke? Where are all the people addicted to secondhand smoke?

Furthermore, if there is such a demand for smoke-free bars that entire states are voting for them, why the shit doesn't someone just OPEN A NONSMOKING BAR. Supply and demand, people, the basis of all economics. That way those of us who choose to excercise our right to slow death can do so without a bunch of whimpering assholes oppressing us.
