Typical liberal garbage! These kids are just being used by some dishonest adults who want to push people around and make everyone else do their bidding because they disapprove of smoking. I think it should be up to restaurant owners whether or not they allow it. They pay the bills. They made the investment. It is their establishment. You don't have to eat at Cracker Barrell or Pizza Hut. Get take out or fix a can of soup or something if it bothers you so bad. There are also plenty of smoke free restaurants so go to one of them. Its amazing to me that many of the people that worry about this are fat, don't exercise and stuff their faces at every opportunity with greasy food. But they worry about second hand smoke. Get real. As far as the kids and their letters go, well they don't pay taxes or vote so who cares what they think. Get back to me when you are earning a wage and contributing to the adult world. Ms. Moses should be ashamed of herself for pulling this stunt.

You said, "Typical liberal garbage! Some dishonest adults who want to push people around are just using these kids and make everyone else do their bidding because they disapprove of smoking." Is this not, exactly what you are trying to do to the non smokers? You seem to feel than no one has any rights except smokers. You obviously do not care about the public health or the health of the children. You mention greasy food. No one is force feeding anyone, fat kids included. When you smoke in public, you are in fact forcing others to inhale toxic material that is not healthful. Get real! You are not the only person paying taxes. Other tax payers have the right to be free of your pollution. I personally do not eat in any restaurant that is not smoke free and I think all those restaurants that have a smoking section should display a sign at the door stating this. It would give persons a warning before they enter the establishment and they could then choose to go elsewhere. There are activities that are illegal in public, due to the norms of society, that do not harm anyone. Therefore why should public smoking be allowed.

I haven't heard much about this lately. I guess its a dead issue as it should be. When will these liberals realize that most people in Corbin do not believe in more restrictions by big government, especially coming from a bunch of teenagers. Shame on these adult for trying to use kids to do their dirty work.
