You completely and conveniently ignored the big issue of the single Mom who can't get a job anywhere else. Or the student who can't work anywhere else while studying.

Why can't they find another job? I know darned well most fast food places pretty much always have a sign up, and very few of them allow smoking anywhere. Every time I go into WalMart, they are asking for someone to bring carts out of the parking lot, and usually have a stocker or cashier position open. Heck, flip open the Help Wanted section and there is a slew of entry level positions roughly as demanding as barmaid. If they want to work at the bar for tips, big friggin' deal. That is their choice. If will have to weigh the tips against the second-hand smoke.

That is the biggest reason this has been done. To provide a safe WORKPLACE.

Really. Perhaps you missed the little discussion about safety and second-hand smoke. I know of no second-hand research that has not been proven to be bogus, simple exercises in data mining, including the 1993 EPA report that started this whole goverment regulation nightmare. Perhaps you could enlighten me if there are some which have not been totally discredited? Because if not, you are condoning government officials committing perjury, just so that you can have the world arranged more the way you like.\
But then again, it has been a long time since I have ever heard of a "liberal" who thought perjury was a bad thing...
