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?

i think smoking should be banned from every public place on the face of the earth.


not from driving though, if you wanna sit in a box and breathe in nasty chemicals that will kill you then that sounds great with me.

So you think business owners don't have the right to choose whether or not people can smoke in their establishments? That's like saying you can't smoke in your house when you have guests over.
