My town(s) (B/CS, TX) just recently passed a smoking ban that kicks in Feb 1st I believe. No smoking in bars, restaurants, etc. What I find really silly is that this should be left up to the owners of the god damned establishments.

Oink oink there you capitalist pig. Geeze, why should buisness owners have any say in the way they run their establisments? It's up to the state to come in and save us from ourselves...and corporations, and greed, and oil, and we need to find another bandwagon to jump on and, and, and...Somone should make some "organic" cigarettes that smelled like burt's bees and sell them at wild oats so we wouldn't have an issue.
I have plenty of friends that smoke who I wish would quit, but ultimately, it's a vice/pleasure that they choose. Business owners used to be able to choose if they allowed smoking at their place of business, but now they can't. The decision has been made for them for the sake of the "greater good." The result: a bunch of anxiety ridden folks who need a smoke who will live forver who can't even set the rules at their own bar.
