I only accept appointments. I pay taxes, My clients come to me to rest and relax. 9 out of 10 of them smoke. I have the right to bare arms but I cant smoke in my own freakin home or my PRIVATE workplace. But I can bet my life no one would complain if I lit a joint. I have a private business.

This thing is about Rights pure and simple, the right of the state to say you cannot eat this or that or smoke and it is a slippery slope when folks allow government to parent the masses. We don't need the government to parent us when they endorse putting the whole damned country on toxic prescription drugs or through loose laws say it;s OK for companies to poison our water, air, food supply and land! We live in an increasingly fascist country. Alcohol has damaged and killed more people over the ages than cigarettes ever could hope to and banning alcohol…well, that’s a sacred cow.

Who cares if you people don't like to be around smoke...then don't go their, no one is forcing you to go. If its up to the owner their wouldn't be any problem, the owner will do what is best for their business and if you don't like it tough. Thats what it should be, the owner of the building should have every right to make the smoking decision not the state. I am a non smoker myself and I hate being around smoke so I simply don't go around it... Smoking should be totally up the the restaurant owner or the building owner.

Restaurants OK but bars, come on, let's get real! The only thing this ban has done (for me)is stopped my light drinking. Because I like to smoke when I watch TV sporting events, now I just say home. Unfortunately, no more bars for me. New Jersey: Democracy to Dictatorship!!! The NJ Smoking Ban is totally adsurd! Restaurants OK but bars, come on, let’s get real!

It was very hard. By the time they realized what they were doing to their bodies and stopped the damage was already done. You end up with a whole cut in your neck and struggeling for every breathe. Depending on a machine to breathe for you. As my mom laid on her death bed she begged me to help her, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't breathe for her. STOP NOW while you can still get fresh air into your lungs!! It's not worth it.

I mean its like someone working at a toxic waste dump as a waste mover saying they have to remove all the toxic waste becuase its bad for them! get real you got a job at a bar that bar has smokers if that bothers you dont work there! you have the choice to not work there or not to go there! but now that choice has been removed for most of us and wow isnt it amazing that suddenlly bars with 50+ years of profitable operation are now dying out?? seems too much like cause and effect to me. my normal sat dive is now almost empty where before the ban if you werent there by 8pm you didnt get a seat and had to stand. now i get there at 10 pm and i can sit where ever i like. too much of a coincidence for me to rule it out. like i said cause and effect. ever notice that there were almost no nonsmoking only bars??? ever wonder why??? i know 3 nonsmokers who started nonsmoking bars all of which failed in less than 1 year from GASP! not enough people. i go to bars and know what all the owners i speak to say the same a drop of half of thier buisness so where are all these supposed nonsmokers that are going to flock to these places and save them?? at home where they were before becuase for most the smoke was a copout for why they didnt go nothing but an excuse because they dont like to go to bars!
