Bars were only smoking bars because they chose to be. You or any other nonsmoker could have started any establishment you wished and made it nonsmoking. So you can't really complain. No one choose to do it, so rather than starting nonsmoking establishments they just started outlawing them. That's not just stupid or unamerican it's also very lazy.
Yes, you can't shoot people inside bars or anything illegal like that, I've heard that before. But the fact remains you cannot seem to compromise. Instead of saying "some can be and some won't be" you're it's all or nothing. Now we're back to free choice.
What's wrong with losing my rights? Nothing at first, smoking outside wouldn't be that big a deal (though I do like to smoke in bars that allow it) but it's the fact that eventually this will lead to a straight up ban.
Big changes never happen all at once, it starts out small. You take away a right here and a right there and once people are used to that you go bigger and bigger and pretty soon we're marching people off into camps and telling people it's for our own good or protection. I know that's reaching, but it's also true, just look at history. Everything Stalin did was for the good of the people and he's history's greatest mass murderer.
