Re: Comments regarding the Smoking Ban

I think it's ridiculous to ban smokers from smoking cigarettes everywhere. I totally understand in restaurants etc. that would bother other people, but to ban certain places outside and Saline county. Why even sell cigarettes if you can't smoke them? It is a LEGAL product, so they shouldn't treat us like criminals just for smoking. Whoever started this whole ridiculous ban needs to get a life and leave us smokers alone!!!!!! As long as we aren't smoking in the buildings, then it shouldn't matter. It's like taking a Coke or whatever you enjoy away the most just because they have nothing better to do. Smokers have rights too!!! Is this not America, Land of the Free with FREE CHOICE????!!!
