I'm in the Texas House State Affairs Committee hearing listening to the opponents of the proposed state-wide smoking ban. The usual suspects are here supporting the bill, but freedom-lovers are clearly prevailing. Let's hope the smoking ban is taking its last breath, but while we are here testifying for freedom, word has it that Lt Gov Dewhurst has been working the Senate to support the smoking ban.
No one is forcing nonsmokers (like me) to endure a smoking establishment. We have freedom of choice, as do workers.
It's time we treat citizens like adults and allow the market to prevail. If nonsmokers want their own cigar bars, bars and other establishments, those will flourish.
The opponents of the smoking ban far outnumber the supporters.
This is Texas - not Taxus or Regulateus - but Texas. Let's keep government bans and regulations at bay.
Folks here are overwhelmingly asking legislators to reject the ban.
