I have to say something about the driving on public roads thing here....I haven't been allowed to drive since the latter part of 2001......it is a not a right to drive but something that is either earned or something that is bestowed to someone who does not impose an impending or overly possible danger to others.....in my case I have been battling seizures and dimentia...not a good thing to mix with driving a vehicle, officially my drivers license was never taken away but I never drove out of personal responsibility, had I drove and gotten caught then I would have been totally liable, or if the doc found out would have had my license yanked....they have since expired and I have never renewed them as law states I have to go at least 6 months with no episodes I'm thinking more like a year myself.......
The legislation getting through on the behalf of the employees....well I can see the logic to that argument but at the same time as m42 said you are removing the right to cater to patrons from the business owner....when interviewing and hiring those that work in these places it is freely disclosed what the conditions are, and if it is a problem then instead of persecuting the owner the employee should take it upon themselves to move to a position that they are better suited. As a business owner I had the sole right of who I did and didn't hire and wasn't under any pressure as to why I decided to hire one person on top of another...that is my business not yours.....My business was open before the smoking ban took place...I was a computers repair and sales store....I didn't allow smoking in the store because of my customers but that was my choice....after business hours I allowed smoking back in the repair center but we had air purifiers going etc...the store didn't smell like smoke the next day......bottom line is it was my choice not a law that forced me to do it.....
