Smoking

Tuesday, February 20 at 12:03 PM

It was really sad to see small business people desperately trying to hold on to their neighborhood bars while the most Orwellen legislature in the history of Colorado looked on with disdain (Rocky Mountain News 2/13/07( “Vote Burns Bar Owners")! If second hand smoke is so hazardous in the work place then why not handle the problem through the Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA) and Workers’ Compensation (WC) as in all other aspects of business and industry? Second hand smoke is, after all, just as much of a byproduct of a neighborhood bar as other airborne substances in industry, for example, metal fumes are a byproduct of a metal foundry. If the amount of airborne material in any other work place situation exceeds established standards, ventilation will be required to bring it into compliance. Is the Legislature trying to tell us that second hand smoke cannot be ventilated? Oh, by the way, just what is the air quality standard for second hand smoke, anyway? And while we look that up, how about also finding out just how many workers’ compensation claims for this alleged hazard have been successfully adjudicated? For that matter were OSHA and WC even factored into this boondoggle? I hope that the resistance to this ban doesn’t go away. Given the current legislative climate it portends a further path down the road to the ultimate “Big Brother” society that we were warned about in the middle of the last century!
