That is YOUR opinion. My opinion is that it is not the gov's responsibility to regulate your healthy habits. Smoking in businesses is the businesses' business, not those that complain. If I do not wish to wear a mask, that does not make me dangerous. It is ONLY dangerous IF I have a contagious disease. Many of you folks insist that those that do not wear a mask are dangerous, and that is unfounded and you have no evidence that it is dangerous. If a person has been maskless all their lives and suddenly you decide they must wear a mask or be labeled dangerous just because of mass hysteria, then that is all on the one making baseless demands. And I say baseless because there is no evidence that those that do not wear a mask are even infected. The ones that say that demanding others to wear a mask if to protect other folks, do not know if that person that is maskless just came from a testing where he was deemed uninfected. Some folks always have an excuse to infringe on others' liberty.
Some folks need to be responsible for themselves and quit demanding others take care of them.
