==Background==
All are not in favor of a smoking ban.
==Insights==
===Freedom of association===
* In a Free country some one could run a bar/pub and call it Smokers. Smokers could have specialty cigars, fancy foreign cigarettes etc. Let the customer/citizen decide.
* In a free country the businesses can take their own cost/benefits of allowing or banning Smoking in their establishment, rather than the politically correct fascist doing it.
* For any one who frets over the cost to society to medicare/Medicaid that is easy to solve. Make the tax on cigarettes limited to covering the costs of its associated health problems. That way it is a user fee structure and the rest of the population is not burdened.
* The issue really is using government by some people to control others just because they can.
