So we become second class citizens. Denied jobs, entertainment and access because of the inconsiderate choices of others?
Let's get this clear.
The smoking ban makes everyone equal. Smokers and nonsmokers can go to the same bars, get on the same planes, have the same jobs, and no-one is affected any more or less.
What is easier MagiK? Having the life of a monk with zero access to bars, public transport, entertainment or reasonably paid service jobs OR
WALKING OUTSIDE FOR TWO MINUTES. The blatant disregard for others is astounding me here. The violent anger towards those who care enough about their health to battle addiction and quit is frightening.
There is NO REASON why a person whop decides not to smoke should be effeectively barred from entering a place. NO REASON why a person should have two careers - music and service - closed to them because of others choices.
The argument "you can always leave" is the rudest, stupidest, most inconsiderate and
totally discriminatory solution I've seen.
One side can never visit
or
The other side can walk out for two minutes.
Which is fairer? Get over the RIGHTS offense and have some concern for the health of your fellow human beings. Your children.
You may make the decision to kill yourself with tobacco but HOW DARE YOU make that decision for another, and DEMAND it is a RIGHT to do so!!??
