If you love liberty, vote NO on this smoking ban poll for business owners

[oyarde]

Many locales are banning smoking in apartments and townhouses now, so you basically can't smoke in your own home.

Going back to the smell of frying bacon, let's say I'm a devout Muslim or Orthodox Jew.

That smell is an offense to me, it is wafting the molecules of forbidden meat right into my nose.

Do I have a right to tell you you can't cook a BLT in your own kitchen anymore?

Ahh , the smells of home are still the same as my childhood , bacon , coffee and wood smoke .

Here in Ohio a non-smoking ban was enacted a few years back and practically everyone I know loves it and says it should have been done years ago. While it is true that a minority have lost their "right to smoke", the majority has regained the "right" to breathe cleaner air and the poor property owner caught in the middle no longer has to be the bad guy telling one group or the other to stuff it. A lot of property owners like that. Additionally, a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't have visited a business because of the smoke now do.

You like it that business owners lost property rights?
We'll see how you like it when the government bans something in YOUR HOME.

Do Dog Walkers have an Exclusive Right to a Public Dog Park? If they do, that Excludes everyone that didnt bring their Dog to the Dog Park. Exclusive Rights and Rights are very different, and Non Smokers sometimes operate on the idea they have Exclusive Rights. An Exclusive Right does exactly what it sounds like it does. It Excludes people based on certain criteria from having a Right, thus becoming a Permission and not a Right.

This is when we get into the concept of Licensing Everything. If you want to eat unhealthy food, you'd need a License so it can Exclude people without the License. The License for Food would be issued because some people believe some "other" people do not eat food "Responsibly", and due to the Socialistic Nature this country has turned towards, they may believe they have a say-so in the matter because that persons Cost of Health Care is a Burden upon them.

No Right can be Exclusive. Right to "Clean Air" is not a right because it Excludes others, whether by choice or not, deprives them of the Same Right to be in the opposite type of enviornment.

Today , I changed up , had fried ham with my coffee , eggs and sausage gravy and it was so warm last night , I did not build a fire. Now , I have to leave the woods and burn some $4 gas and go to work .

 

[Danke]

People fart.

I demand a fart free environment.

You have no right to force me to breathe air that is contaminated by your ass gas.

I bet donnay could get behind that rule. Sailor farts, I can't imagine.

Nobody forces people to go to public establishments. Gong to a Hospital, understandable, you dont really have a choice. Smoking Ban in Hospitals are acceptable, but telling someone else what they can and can not do on or with their own property is Socialism.

And just because it is "Public" does not mean you or anyone else has an Exclusive Right to it.

Depends on if the hospital is public or private. But, with regards to what I deem 'public', such as courthouses, city/state transportation, city/state amusement halls etc. I have no problem with a smoking ban.
The only problem I have is when the local bar that I have been going to for 30 years suddenly has to ban smoking even though the MAJORITY of its patrons were smokers.

 

[oyarde]

Think I will have a smoke on the way. I plan to quit soon , but all of you are free to smoke at my place even after I quit , I am a Liberty Lover like that.

One word:

Gruesome.

As people of Libertarian bent, there would be no public hospitals, so of course those who argue for banning smoking in hospitals because one has no "choice" to be there just got that argument shot down...it would be private property. In fact, except for maybe some VA hospitals, are there any public hospitals?

What is a city/state amusement hall? I'm not familiar with that term.

Smoked oysters. If you ever wanted to clear a berth and have the hatch locked behind you so you could watch the video that you wanted to instead of what the MAJORITY wanted.

Tobacco is loaded with b-17 too.

You know government allows poison in my water by way of sodium fluoride and allow poisons in the vaccines and pharmaceuticals without my consent. When I dissent I am told I am a conspiracy theorist!

Museum of Science. Aquarium. Theatre. etc.

 

[Tod]

Am I the only one here who has left a room to avoid offending people with my fart? I've done that LOTS of times.

no, I do not fart in your general direction....

 

[Tod]

Museum of Science. Aquarium. Theatre. etc.

ah....but as Libertarians, we would banish the existence of such things, no? They would all be privately owned.

Most hospitals receive some form of government (public) monies. Private ownership establishments do not. Difference.

Banish? Hardly. Individuals within communities are more than welcome to pool their resources for the mutual benefit.
