Actually, smoking in PUBLIC places is unregulated. Smoking in places covered by, say State Worker's Health and Safety Regulations is regulated.

A "Place of Employement" is NOT A PUBLIC PLACE. It *may* be a place of PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION, however.

Yup, what you stated is far more precise. In my state the law looks like this:

"LABOR CODE SECTION 6400-6413.5"

I'm sorry... where exactly in the Constitution does it state these "rights"? I'm reading it now, and having a bit of trouble finding that part. Help would be appreciated.

I have the RIGHT to drive out of my mind drunk, right next to your car, in something big and powerful, when I can't even walk because I am so fucked up. I have the right to do this, what I do not have the right to do is to screw up. Do I have that right when sober ?To just say, 'fukit, I'm gonna hit that car'. Of course not.

Um...no. Reckless endangerment would probably apply. You don't actually have any such right to act like a total yahoo.

I have the RIGHT to sit right next to you at a movie theater with an AK47 and ten stripper clips. I did not say I had the right to shoot it off.

I can agree. Seems unnecessary however.

I have the RIGHT to do any drug I want in my own house, whether it has transfat in it or not. I did not say your house.

No problems here.

No, you don't have any right to commit murder. You're saying so makes you seem utterly psychotic.

I have the RIGHT to run the cops on a 130MPH goose chase if I know where there are some underground tunnels I can get to (can't jam the radio anymore, they use spread spectrum).

Um...no. Reckless endangerment again.

I have the RIGHT to do anything I damnwell please, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

I agree.

But given the sketchy pattern above, don't spare the lithium.

Retake Civics Class.

It's obvious where your misconception lies. The Constitution doesn't grant ANYTHING to The People.

RIGHTS come from Our Creator ( whatever THAT is... )

The Constitution only enumerates the lawful powers of the Federal Government, therefore when it says that you "have a right to free speech under the Constitution" what you really mean is that under the limits the Federal Government is working under they cannot deprive you of your right to speak freely.
