I guess I could support the idea of a smoking only restaurant. No non-smokers or minors allowed period. I wonder how successful that would be?

Have you ever been to the smoking lounge at DIA (Denver International Airport)?

Must be like the one in Atlanta - I literally could not see the people standing in the room as I walked by. Like I said I would support a smoking only policy.

I think public smoking is unconstitutional. It infringes on my right to LIFE. This is coming from someone who is pro drug legalization.

Give me an effen break---stand behind a car and suck up those fumes and tell me which is worse and then get back to me.

I work in new york. I'd rather pass a bus than walk behind a smoker.

Of course, bars aren't public places.

But telling an employee to quit if they don't like it is not a reasonable accommodation of their health concerns.

[/ QUOTE ]
If the employee didn't want a smoky work environment, they wouldn't have taken a job in a place that allows smoking.

I can't be the only one who is slightly tickled by AC'ers saying people should leave if they don't like the way things are.

Ideally. But most people owe bills, have zero savings, and little talent - when these people lose one job, they tend to take the first job that becomes available. Only when their teeth loosen and their skin cracks open with sores from the massive amounts of smoke, in say a casino cage, do these people then look elsewhere for jobs.

Incidently, the smoke in casino’s and bars is way above and beyond incidental second hand smoke.

I said "love it or leave it lol" at the end of one of my posts - sure it's kinda funny but you do see the important difference right?

Forgive me if I don't believe that a smoky bar was the only thing left. They just didn't care enough to find somewhere else.
