Smoking ban extended to bars and pool halls in Corpus Christi

[MannyIsGod]

BTW, I wasn't arguing that smoking anywhere you want is a right. Obviously you can't go light up wherever you want. I was arguing for the right of a business person to choose how to run his establishment. That has nothing to do with smoking being a right or not and everything to do with what I choose to do in a place I own.

[BacktoBasics]

Well it. If you're an American you have very few right period. What little rights you do have are not only subject to the parimeters of our governments but limited in ability to be full exercised.

We barely have the right to say we have rights.

I think a lot of people are willing to compromise for the betterment of our public places either for health or preference alone. Time and time again organizations who have power along with our own government have proven that compromise, if any, is short lived before they deem to take it away completely. Leaving the s of actually having rights in its place to make you feel all warm and fuzzy at night.

I think we should enforce a ban of saturated fats in the foods restaurants serve. its a public health hazard.

LOL nice sarcasm, but its funny that this is coming from someone who is clearly a fatass. (judging by your pictures you have posted in the past) .... so its no wonder that you don't give two s about other peoples health ... you don't care enough about your own lol.

and then and then and then and then and then and then you're like a record and then and then you can't formulate a real argument other than the health card even though this was about the rights of business owners and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then.

BRHornet45 whatever you do don't stick your hand in the tree chipper. It'll cut it right off. I'll keep you posted on when its safe to resume activity once the tree chipper has been removed for good.

[DarkReign]

Tramp pussies and their propensity to legislate against those they find unredeemable.

you hippies who want a smoke ban. No one is forcing you into the door, are they?

Im not talking about Chilis or whatever, thats understandable. But when you are IDed to get into a building (18+ or 21+) you are now in the company of adults. Try and act like one. Or dont. Hire a lawyer and interest group.

You ing whiners. "Whaaaa, my clothes! Whaaa, my health-risks!" Is it your bar? Were you forced to go inside? What, pray tell, makes you want to go into a bar then?

Whatever. Pussies. The lot of you.

[BacktoBasics]

Hey BR you might not want to wrap your big lips around an exhaust pipe while the vehicle is running either.

[BacktoBasics]

Say BR I'll let you know when the government puts a mesh netting around your drain because you might not be able to keep yourself from jamming your massive fist into the garbage disposal.

[leemajors]

I still see no reason why an establishment couldn't keep a well ventilated smoking section.

It makes no sense to just ban it outright.

a proper ventilation system is ing expensive.

[BacktoBasics]

a proper ventilation system is ing expensive.

10's of thousands.

You completely missed the point of the argument. You failed to provide any additional points of interest beyond health concerns. You were an abortion of compe ion in this debate. I'd guess that less than 3% of the regulars on this board take you seriously.

again

You've completely missed the point of the argument. If you don't even know what you're debating how do you think you've won?

[tlongII]

Personally I think business will improve as a result of the smoking ban. Do you realize how many non-smokers drink?

[BacktoBasics]

what have you done in support of helping the current hemp cause? Is that you pictured?

Let him debate the health hazards.

I'll start: Name 10 people who have died from ETS. At 3000/year since the EPA report came out in '93, you should have plenty of names in a matter of minutes.

Don't come back until you get the names and they can be verified.

[jack sommerset]

If a establishment such as Chilis wants smoking then don't eat at Chilis. If you are a cook,a waitress, bus boy,accountant, dishwasher and do not want to be around smokers while you work, don't work at Chilis or anywhere that allows smoking. I have a 5 year old. If Chucky Cheese allowed smokers I would not go. Use common sense.

My father smoked 2 packs a day for 43 years. He finally quit 5 years ago. He is healthy at 65. No bull . Here is a surprise. Everyone of his kids donot smoke and they are all HEALTHY. No bull . Grand kids that are old enough to be around him until he quit are HEALTHY. Two wives he had, HEALTHY. That is second hand smoke. People around a smoker at a Chilis for a hour is not second hand smoke. You will not die from sitting in the smoking section at Chilis neither will your kids. Now if you are like BrHornet and find it filthy to be around it, guess what, DONT EAT THERE!

Seriously, use common sense.

[chode_regulator]

Are you serious dude? I think there's some pretty conclusive science on the danger of second hand smoke.

most people who are dangered from second hand smoke are the ones who live with smokers. bc they smoke in their own house, all day!!! not at a bar where youre at for maybe a few hours a week.
personally i think it should be up to the establishment. for me theres nothing better than going to a local dive bar where you know everyone and its all dark and smoky inside.


first time i went home to victoria and found out about theban i almost cried. i smoked back then and was really confused on why we went outside in the cold to smoke til my friend explained they had jsut passed that banthere.

well said.
unfortunately the country is filling up with people who want, and need, a nanny state. Please Mr. Government man, protect me, tell me what to do, keep bad stuff away from me, hold my hand, don't let anybody hurt my feelings...

<--- barf smiley goes here. didn't feel like looking for it.

This is horrible.

Nothing could be worse.

I hope you don't have the same approach with everything.
