I am sensitive to smoke. I choose not to smoke- I shouldn't have to endure breathing your poison clouds.

That's not communist that's libertarian. Perhaps the difference is lost on you.

OP must surely be okay with the neighbor’s dogs shutting in his yard, dumping their trash in the back of his truck bed, loud music being played late at night next door, and parking their cars in his driveway.  He’s all about freedom man.

ETA - he’s not worried about chronic lung disease either.

My grandpa died at 70 from COPD. His Brother died at 68 from lung cancer. Both were great men, gone too soon. Their wives lived 20+ years longer.

I agree with this. If a bar wants to allow its patrons to smoke, that's their right. I have a choice to go or not to go into their establishment. It's likely a bad business model to allow smoking these days, but you should be allowed to make bad decisions.

Do you remember the smoking rooms they had in airports? Holy fuck!

My mother died of lung cancer at 38. Left three kids, one 9 (me), one just turned 8 and one 3. Her lungs were ate up from smoking, I saw the xrays when the doctor showed and explained them to my father and her brother. I had to breathe that shit from two people smoking the whole time I was growing up including being hotboxed in cars. Fuck anyone that wants to inflict their smoke on other people.

You are for allowing a group of college students to hotbox an Applebees with blunts?  Cause that is what would be happening everywhere if you were allowed to smoke indoors.  Toddlers getting high as fuck a couple tables over.

Fuck no it wasn't!   I remember that "smokers rights" shit all too well!   Fuck all you goddamn smokers, polluting everyone's air with your foul shit.  I remember, and resent to this day, all of your foul, dangerous shit I had to breathe into order to work.   I hope all you smokers freeze to death standing outside for your fix.
That's one thing the liberals got right - banning all that shit.  In restaurants, at work.   Fuck you!   It pisses me off just remembering all the shit I had to go through everywhere because of you foul, disgusting, selfish people.  Fuck you again!

Freedom is a deadly and complicated balancing act along the edge of a razor blade. There should be as much freedom as possible, right up until you crash into anarchy.

To paraphrase a great believer in liberty, "your freedom to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose."

That said, and as I posted elsewhere, I'm all for the choice being in the hands of individual businesses.

It's a pretty significant difference. I remember showering after getting home just so my bed didn't smell like an ashtray. You could smell the cigarette stink rinsing away. It seems crazy now.

It was damned gross to go to a bar and get a film of stale nicotine funk on your clothes. Knowing what we know now, though,  the anti smoking zealotry was a symptom and a warning of the authoritarian societal illness to come. I am usually in favor of more freedom, not less after the COVID lockdowns and authoritarian Karenization of society.

Down here in FL, most places have an outside area and it's not as big of a deal. Up north, it's a crappy situation either way in winter.

Yeah, the one in LAX was absolutely nasty but they didn't have to be that way, a properly designed air system and filters would have cleaned them up. At the airport in Naha Okinawa they had smoking stations throughout the concourse, right out in the middle of everything. The smoking station had a high volume air system that would pull in the smoke and pass it though a filter, you could be walking feet away and not smell the smoke.
