| I'm with ya. It should be a businesses choice.
I don't think anyone argues the fact that secondhand smoke contributes to lung cancer, but it's far less than many other things such as car exhaust and burning of waste. By "junk science" their probably talking about the way the so called facts are presented.
The fact is not all people are effected by secondhand smoke or even first hand for that fact. Studies have shown that some people that have lived all their life with smokers never got cancer while some with little exposure did. Of course it's these that are susceptible that get counted not those that aren't.
Fact is there are many things we are all exposed to on a daily bases that may give us cancer but nothing is done. Secondhand smoke is among the lowest risk yet it's that one making the headlines.
Secondhand smoke can't hold a candle to the number of deaths due to alcohol but you won't see them trying to ban it.
Back to the business. A business should have the choice since it can directly affect the bottom line. They've already made it so a business is required to have separate sections but thats not good enough.
