Sensation on smoking is all about money
Why don’t we confess evident things? The majority of the folks who support the smoking ban are guided by money, not health. If it wouldn’t be so, the tax money would go to cessation programs for smoking that could help people directly. When smoking is banned in a region and it is found it could lose money the ban is canceled.
If smoking is forbidden in restaurants or bars the smokers should pay a certain entrance fees. Why doesn’t it happen vice-versa?
In the attempt to overturn the smoking ban in restaurants and establishments that serve food, a tavern possessor is trying to make smoking a First Amendment issue.
If a restaurant has ash trays on tables it can be regarded as law reinforcement. In case if a health inspectors find people smoking in the bar the owner can be fined $200.
At the same time the removal of the ash trays violates the First Amendment because the ash trays often have the establishment’s name and address on the bottom of them and are a form of commercial free speech.
Unfortunately bars and restaurants owners have a scant choice: they can ban smoking or they can close their kitchens.
The cigarette and tobacco smokers become an oppressed category of society.
