      <![CDATA[So, in the thread on Jack's latest piece you're telling me that you have no problems with restricting a woman's choices about her body but you are unwilling to let the government step in and tell people they can no longer place the lives and health of their employees at risk by allowing smoking in their place of business?<br>
<br>
How do you reconcile those two notions in your head? How can you claim to be a pure "libertarian" when your only concern seems to be for the business owners and people like yourself?

      <![CDATA[Richard Ruth seems nervous that when the smoking lamp is extinguished at his roadhouse that his patrons, ones that have been enjoying the tabacco-clouded refuge that he provided for years, will suddenly wonder "why have we been going to this place again?"<br>
<br>
What can I say? The guy knows his clientele.<br>
<br>
Put me in the "for" column, but only because I'm selfish and being able to leave a bar without the stench and double-the-hangover penalty of cigarette smoke is a genuine treat for me.

      <![CDATA[When the likes of Richard Ruth make comments like this it only alienates the non smoking majority so they won't do business with him even if his establishment is smoke free.<br>
It's attitudes like his that cause one or two place to actually lose business while everywhere else gains business when a non smoking law is passed.<br>
Instead of making moronic comments he should be doing all he can to start attracting the non smokers.
