How about most congressman are speaking for their constituents right to choose what they want instead of the government telling them what to do? Did you ever consider that? I'm tired of the continuing saga of most people wanting the "government" babysitting there lives. Most rational people do not want government intervention. By the way, I DO NOT SMOKE, never have and never will. It's all about personal freedom and business rights. It’s always “Big tobacco Money” wins the fight right?

Now we can go to work or out for a meal in the sure knowledge that we won't be bothered by smoke. I've just returned to work after undergoing major surgery for breast cancer and it's great to go back to a smoke free office. I know you'll keep pusing for the ban and I sincerely hop you get your wish sooner rather than later. In my country, smoking in public places has been banned for some time – and it’s so good!

I was angry in reading the "Big Tobacco" fights, and reacted rather than responding. I would like to see more funds spent of research and help; Still, I won't get caught up in attacks on businesses. I do what I can to defend the rights of Americans to live their lives in Freedom, and don't want to see attacks on that.

It's tragic that they have to suffer so much. I just don't want to see the freedoms of law-abiding citizens eroded. And...I can't stand hypocrites, like Barry Cig-Smoking Obama.

Just don't ever, ever, give up. In my country it took many years to have similar regulations, but we made happen and it's a relief to enter a restaurant, a caffe or at your workplace and be able to breathe freely without fear.
