Why should private businesses pay for something that they had no control over? The key word is "private". Businesses, such as bars and casinos are private businesses in a public setting. I am not a smoker but am sick of government intrusion in the lives of people. If you don't want cancer, don't smoke or be around those who smoke. I'm sorry if you enjoy going to casinos and bars but you have to weigh the possibility that if the establishment allows people who smoke that there is a good chance that you will inhale secondhand smoke. It's a personal choice.
As a Native American myself, I find this a stupid argument to pursue. This will set any reconciliation efforts back 40 years. The people of North Dakota and the United States should take a stand in this fight and also have a vote. I would be glad to vote my opposition to this since the reservation sits on the border of North Dakota and South Dakota
