Alexa, I guess your only chance at reasonably winning this argument is to change it into something it is not. I thought we were talking about banning smoking from Restaurants and Bars, not buildings. That is an entirely different area. One which reasonable people have voted on and accept. Asumming that a public building is the same as a private Restaurant or bar is at the heart of this debate, and something which you seem to want to ignore. By forcing, without a vote, your will to ban smoking from bars and Restaurants you have opened up pandora's box. What is the difference between a bar privately owned and a home?? This is the circular route the non-smoking zealots will take. All the arguments you have made can be about somebodies own home. Just have a dinner party. And children aren't even allowed in bars. Mark my words the next assault against our freedoms (without a vote) will be our homes, and smoking will be involved. Michael
