If you owned a bar, why should the government tell you that you can't let people smoke inside? The government doesn't have a stake in the bar. You paid for everything within the walls. Shouldn't you set the rules? Everyone inside, from the customers to the employees, consent to being in that room. No one is forcing anybody to stay inside a second longer than he wishes. Nothing is preventing your employees from leaving to find other work. Nothing is stopping anyone from opening a no-smoking bar, restaurant, or pub to cater to those who find smoking offensive.
