Non smoking laws Dictatorship??

[pandafishowner]

What about the choices of the non-smokers that, until the bans were made, had no choice but to be subjected to that smoke? What about the children that needlessly were subjected to cigarette smoke because they don't have the rights to say they don't like it?

As a non-smoker, a mom, and one severely allergic to smoke, I'd be pleased as punch if people actually followed the no smoking bans that have been put into place. It's disgusting even walking into the Co-Op store on 17th Ave SE because staff and customers stand right at the doors smoking, standing right in front of the signs saying "NO Smoking Within 5 Metres". Or standing at the bus stop with my kids, while some a-hole smokes a cigarette and blows the smoke in my kids faces.

It wasn't the government that put these bans into place, it was US, the voters. I for one, am damn glad for them and will be even happier when enforcement happens.
