Comprehensive Smoking Bans

Based on the 2006 Surgeon Generals report, do you believe that second hand smoke truly is even a little bit dangerous to those exposed to it?

YES

NO

Are smoking bans violating "Smokers Rights"

YES

NO

Is there such thing as smokers right...if yes please leave comment with links pointing to any law or court ruling that says smokers are a protected class of people and NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL THEM THEY cannot SMOKE.

YES, Smoking is a RIGHT

NO, Smoking is a privilege that can be taken away (like if you are sent to prison)

Which is most important to protect?

Smoker Rights

Non-Smokers Rights

Everyone's right to breath clean indoor air

Are Comprehensive Smoke bans (Bans that do not allow smoking in any business, including restaurants, bars, taverns, and bowling alleys) designed to:

Protect Employee's Health

Protect Customer's Health

Both of the above

Drive Bars out of business

Let the government dictate another aspect of our lives

In 2007, it was concluded that over 50% of Americans live under some sort of smoke ban, based on that do you currently live in a community that:

Bans smoking in all working places (including bars)

Bans smoking in all restaurants, including the bar area of a restaurant (but gives bars exemption)

Bans Smoking in restaurants, but not the bar area or any bars

Bans smoking in some places, but there are so many exemptions they might as well not have even written the law

Does not regulate smoking

I Do not know

Do you agree with smoke bans that:

Regulate smoking in all business, including bars

Regulate smoking in most business, exempting bars

Regulates smoking only in 100% of restaurants

Regulates smoking in restaurants-not in bar area

Regulates smoking in private homes W/daycares

I Do not agree with any smoking ban (not even in schools or daycares)

Considering the government already regulates quality of food, and quality of water in our restaurants is it really going to far to regulate quality of air (the one thing that is not being regulated) (if yes please explain)

YES

NO

If you live in a municipality that water and sewer are provided to you (for a cost of course) do you feel that it is violating your "homeowners rights" that the government is regulating the number of toxins, bacteria, pH levels, and in some case even forcing drugs (such as fluoride) into your home.

YES, it is going to far to regulate my water

NO, It is assuring that the government is looking out for our best interest

I have a personal well, which is not as regulated as city water

Do you think nonsmokers should have to compromise their health to protect the rights of smokers or business owners?

Yes, Smokers rights supersede those of non smokers.

No, No one is saying smokers cannot smoke. We are simply asking that they take it outside.
