When I visit in August I know where I will go. People should have a right to go or not to go into a bar with smoking. Do you know how to make a liberal madd tell him the truth.

I had to check back. I agree with the Screaming Kid issue. I do NOT agree with smoking or drinking around kids. Yet, they're allowed into all places. Even bars! Who decides this? NOT the Gov't. Shouldn't they say something about THAT? Instead, they told me to smoke outside, where the kids are running around, because their parents are ignoring them. Isn't that what playgrounds are for? Here's an idea! FIND A BABYSITTER! Or, if you can't, stay at home & invite your friends over! It's cheaper for you & I'm not annoyed! I don't tell you how to live your life. I hate people littering. I hate people driving slow in the passing lane. I hate people telling me how/where to worship. Welcome to America, where everyone (except a smoker) is supppsed to have a right to live life how they want. Find a place that fits your lifestyle & leave me to mine.

well today it gets even better, seems like the casino owners refuse to enforce the bann on smoking as well.They're tired of losing money$$$ so they let people smoke. Government should stay out of peoples business, especially small business responsible for more jobs than people really know. Let the bar owner decide what's good for his business and they'll make money and pay taxes and the state will enjoy the revenue and the tax money will help everyone who lives in wonderful Colorado. If we would all get together and send the illegals home we'd have less social cost, like hospitals, less demand for gas and the price would go way down. less crime, and more americans would have jobs. In short I'm for enforcing ALL laws and not just some Laws, and also consider what kind of message are we sending our kids ??? Colorado needs to pull it's head out , and FAST !!!

Nonsmokers are the most miserable people, they always complain about something. What about all that dope you smoke at home?????? Thought no one knew huh????

If you don't like to smell like smoke find some place that is smoke free. Simple. There were smoke places before the ban. I don't like going to place where there are screaming kids and kids running around everywhere, and the parents are too lazy to do something about it. How about somebody open up a place that adults can go enjoy a good dinner without hearing screaming kids?

This what I have to say... Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see. Dont judge anyone, that is not your place, especially when you have no idea of what goes on!!

I used to be a smoker and even when I was smoking I still hated smelling like it. I understand people wanting to smoke when you go out but are you really that LAZY that you cant light up outside?

I grew up in Colorado and have moved to Nashville. I must agree with Carrie that it should be up the owners to be smoking or nonsmoking not are government.I come home 2 to 3 times a year to see my family.We where up at Cripple Creek and my dad and some other people outside smoking where talking about how they fought for the freedom of this country and their rights are being taken away more and more everyday.I told them I work at a govenment place and people are not allowed to smoke on the property,but the inmates who come and do work around the place get to take a smoke break on the property.I think they have more rights then the people on the outside.

Normally I would agree with troy in the aspect of the world is taking the control of stuff too far. But the smoking ban is a great thing if smokers want to destroy their lungs more power to them but how rude and unthoughtful is it when they spark up next to someone who cant stand the smell? and troy and paul both seem very ignorant and are the kind who have no care for anyone but themselves!

Illegals that is what always come out of every discussion. To all those who bring it up we aren't going anywhere,get use to it!!! People don't obey a lot of laws but I bet the police are quick to give out ticket$. But who cares about the other stuff that needs to be done things the city can not get $$$ out of!
