I don't see the need of government regulation, such as that law they passed in California a couple of years ago.
Then you clearly don't understand how radio works...(to quote a phrase).
Restauranteurs are perhaps the most pandering group in the world. They are so afraid of pissing of the 1/3 of the restaurant-going population that smokes, that they will not, unless cajoled with a cattle prod, do anything to reduce smoking in their "establishments".
But wait, you protest, all you have to do is "vote with your feet"; simply go to another restaurant.
Yes, another restaurant...that also doesn't outlaw smoking. Where do you go when there is no choice? No pandering restauranteur is going to outlaw smoking in his/her placeif the guy down the street won't do it. And the guy down the street won't do it if the first pandering restauranteur won't...
So how do you get this thing off of TDC, and provide a place where we can go and actually taste our food?
Tha's right...the bad ol' Gub'mint!
