Banning Smoking in Bars
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Another erosion of civil liberties…. the banning of smoking at bars and restaurants… I am a non-smoker and find the banning of smoking in bars to be another instance of our freedom being taken away from us.
An alternative solution would be for the government to setup different licensing policies for smoking and non-smoking bars; and the government can regulate the proportion of smoking to non-smoking bars through pricing control. This offers people who don't wish to suffer second hand smoke to go to bars that are non-smoking and those who wish to smoke to go to bars smoking bars.
Are we becoming too politically-correct?
