Reply to "Restricting smoking in all public arenas"

So, let me see if I get this, you want the "right" to breathe clean air, and you think the government should do whatever is necessary to ensure that right, even if it means trampling someone else's.So "the ends justify the means". It's funny, if you said that about the Patriot Act, you'd be crucified. Oh, I get it, it's ok to take away someone's rights, if it insures yours.

If the goal is too have smoke-free businesses, there are ways to accomplish that without running rough-shod over the Constitution.
Besides, I'm sure the police have better things to do than be on smoking patrol.
