They'll more likely say, "smoker" like they say "buried" or "extinct." Especially since this is a health & safety issue, not one about freedumb, as in free to make a dumb argument.

It wont be long before people will say the word 'smoker' like someone in the 50s would say 'nigger.' I'm really concerned for the future of this country as our freedoms slowly decline.

Who cares if bars served less liquor? Your money's better spent elsewhere. Talk about misplaced priorities!

Honolulu gross liquor sales from late night bars; 2003 = $34.1 million 2004 = $34.8 million 2005 = $35.1 million 2006 = $36.4 million 2007 = $29.27 million post ban -20% RAW Number of stand-lone bars 2003 = 366 2004 = 357 2005 = 359 2006 = 349 ( ban in November ) 2007 = 329 ! A RECORD DECLINE! It would be still worse except 1/4 of bars are still allowing smoking to survive. Vote No.

businesses have the choice to make their establishments smoke free, so if they don't do that and you don't like the smoke...don't go in there! simple as that!
