Amazing... great points of view!

We as humans were blessed with the greaest gift.... individual choice! Slowly but surely our individual choice is being taken away piece by piece... and we let it happen.

The government has required warning labels on cigarette packs since the 60's... people know its bad for them yet continue to smoke. The government knows its bad and very expensive from a health care perspective, yet they haven't banned cigarettes? Why? Because they love the tax revenue!

I am not a smoker, but I don't think smoking should be banned... Let the business owner decide what is right for his business. I personally go to non-smoking establishments because thats my choice.

If the state or feds wants to increase revenue, I have no problem with an increase on tobacco products or alcohol.
