Bloomington looks at reversing smoking ban

Illinois - Finally, some sense among the madness. The Bloomington city council wants to reverse their indoor smoking ban. The reason?

"I think it is an infringement of property owner rights to operate their businesses. We interfere with businesses enough without trying to legislate morals," said Alderman Allen Gibson.

That is what we have been saying at Smoking Lobby every since the first smoking ban came into effect!!

"Gibson said he would like to see business owners make decisions for their own property."

Why can't we make decisions for ourselves any more in this society? Why must everything which "is good for us" be legislated upon us? Can't we just make up our minds in what used to be a free society?!??
