In Kansas, 27 different cities statewide have banned smoking from restaurants claiming they're trying to "protect the employee's". Somehow, I don't buy it. I believe it's the business owners decision on whether or not smoking is allowed in their facility.
Do you think this is right? |

Somehow, I don't buy it. I believe it's the business owners decision on whether or not smoking is allowed in their facility. Do you think this is right? They just started this like a year and a half ago in the whole State of Ohio. It's such bullshit. Not only does it hurt the people that own the bars (a few people in my extended family own bars and it is KILLING their business), it hurts people that work in bars like musicians since the bars are losing money they can't afford to pay the people that work there(my fiances dad is an active musician with a good reputation around here, but he can't even afford to feed himself). Since where I live in Ohio is so close to Kentucky people are going there to spend their money because they want the choice to smoke. It is hurting Cincinnatis economy. This is like the prohabition back in the day, hopefully people will start to realize that they are taking the rights of business owners and the people of this country and will do something about it. |
