Springfield Senator Larry Bomke voted in favor of the measure. Thank you Sen. Bomke!
Meanwhile, other smoking dead-enders continue to exhibit exactly no intelligence in their arguments:
State Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, who opposed the measure, said the issue should come down to personal rights.Sigh. No, for the millionth time, people DO NOT have the right to do with their property anything they want. That’s why we have health codes. Health endangering practices simply aren’t allowed no matter how much the owner wants to partake in them. Brady knows this, it’s really quite simple, but he drags out this fallacy because he and his smoker allies have nothing else, including public opinion.
“People should have a right to do what they want to do with their property and that includes allowing people to smoke,” he said.

Happy to hear you have given up your automobile....or do you have an unfettered right to spew more poison in the air in a single trip to the grocery store than a smoker will in a lifetime of smoking? Easy to be righteous when some one else does the complying...looks like the Taliban aren't the only society with Commisions on Vice and Virtue. We justy selectively apply it here.
