Take a deep breath. Smell that? That’s the smell of tyranny. The Colorado Clean Indoor Act, passed in 2006 is now looking to go back in time 2 ½ years. There is a new proposal which will allow business’s that receive 5% (or 50k) of their income from the sale of tobacco products to be able to apply for a permit to be established as a cigar-tobacco bar.
The anti-smokers aren’t happy about this. In their world it’s somehow acceptable to force another human being to comply with their way of life. I’m a non-smoker, personally I dislike smoking immensely, I also dislike mind numbing techno beats at Rock Island, but I’m not going to pass legislation to ban their music.
It’s time these people who are supposedly looking out for the rest of us to grow up and start living their own lives, quit dragging me along. Coloradans are not so stupid that they can’t make their own decisions. If someone meanders into a bar that has smoking, yet they hate smoking, if they decide to stay for a drink wouldn’t that be their choice? Call me crazy, but I think it’s ok for people to make their own mistakes. I know plenty of people who eat too much Mcdonalds. I dare people to try and take our micky d’s away from us though
