Smoking Ban
Despite The Times’ continued attempts at bolstering the intrusive agenda of the anti-smoking lobby, the Dec. 9 article regarding the California smoking ban and bartenders does nothing to change the fact that the law should be abolished.
If someone working at a bar suffers from respiratory problems, or any other irritation from cigarette smoke, he or she should quit and find another job. Sacrificing the personal freedom of those who choose to partake in a legal activity for the alleged--and highly disputed--benefit of those who choose not to do so is unacceptable in a free society.
