There should be no law forbidding smoking or transfat. Let the potential customer decide with his or her feet where they will eat.
I believe that all public buildings (city hall, courts, banks, etc.) should absolutely be smoke-free. Period.

However, I agree that restaurants, bars should be able to do what they want about smoking. As a non-smoker I certainly wouldn't patronize a restaurant that allowed smoking - but that's MY choice. And I think if they want to serve transfats to adults, that's their decison as well...however, it should be like alcohol - NO transfat to CHILREN who are too young to make an intelligent decision on the matter.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
