I have mixed feelings, its very obviously not the government's right to ban smoking in these situations (though they should absolutely ban smoking in public places like parks and sidewalks)

But at the same time, its really nice. I remember as a kid whenever my parents went out they would come home just smelling like complete trash even though they don't smoke, I am really glad I don't have to deal wit that shit, I went to an Indian casino once where apparently state laws do not apply and they had smoking and it was just dreadful in there

but yeah, the government has no right to ban it in this case

is there any evidence that breathing car exhaust from nearby roads is more harmful to you than walking behind someone smoking?

Also keep in mind that roads are places specifically designed for driving cars on, so advocating banning cars from roads is a bit counter productive, quite unlike the situation with smokers on sidewalks so its a pretty shitty analogy and not useful even if the exhaust is more harmful because that doesn't change the fact that public sidewalks should not be for smoking

That’s communism, that’s textbook communism right there, which you are advocating for.

This isn’t about the needs of the few, and it isn’t about the needs of anyone. It’s about what people WANT. It’s about SUPPLY and DEMAND, basic economic concepts.

Because I know you’re too stupid to get this, I’ll explain it more.

The GOVERNMENT by BANNING SMOKING IN BARS has effectively REMOVED THE SUPPLY of bars that allow smoking. This means there is a DEMAND that is not met, and therefore the market has been broken forcibly. That is bad.

The reason casinos on Indian lands have so much business all of the time is because you can smoke inside all you like, sure part of the reason people there is the demand for a casino, but part of the demand is to drink and smoke indoors at the same time. It is a literal bait for people to lure themselves into the casino with, hence why casinos will never ban smoking indoors for as long as they can.

Also note that if you can smell a smoker, you are in their toxic chemical aura, you are literally smelling the chemicals coming out of their cigarette or off of their body/clothes for days later.

Imagine being a bar owner and every single night some pretentious piece of shit drunkards walk in talking about how America is a free country and there is no more smoking ban so they can smoke wherever they please, pissing off your clients, driving away your business, and making you have to forcefully remove them because they won't just listen and go to the smoker bar 2 streets down. This happens to you every single night, with different people, all the time, for the rest of your life.

This is why the smoking ban is needed. You smokers and your personalities are as toxic as the cancer sticks you can't stop blowing.

It's legal where I'm from. We also have one of the higher rates of smoking in Europe. It kinda does suck ass for non-smokers since almost no places have smoke-free areas. If you go out to a bar or something you just have to resign yourself to second hand smoke all night. Even if there were non-smoking areas it's highly unlikely that less than half of your group aren't smokers themselves.

I smoke, but have you ever walked into a smokers house? Do you even remember smoking bars? Your clothes reek for months, it gets into your pores.

I mean, if you wanna smell like an indian trash can, that's your prerogative.

I'm not the degenerate who can't go 3 minutes without "mommy needing her feel good sticks".

I'll have a drink, and smoke while also not ruining my clothes, and continue to be a productive member of society. Must be hard to be you.

Meh, it's no great loos that it's prohibited and in fact the ban should probably include shisha bars as well; on the one hand those faggot ass sand niggers shouldn't get a pass on it just for being niggerdly, but on the other hand it's a net good because it's bad for their health.
But in terms of wider society I think the best way to allow smoking in an established is to require it to meet certain standards and get certification as a smoking establishment that would include things like it being 18+, having clear signage denoting/warning that they have inside smoking, mandatory employee health insurance from the employer, and an extremely robust ventilation system, possibly also having optional respirators for the staff to wear while working.
