I just thing I have the right to smoke a cigar. I think that stress is one of the main causes of cancer and other health issues and cigars prevent stress....

This should be a given. The supposed risks of second-hand smoke (which the World Health Organization itself has disputed) are not sufficent ground to legislate against a completely legal and legitimate use of the product by adults, in a context (such as a cigar lounge or tobacconist's shop) where anyone present is there voluntarily.

It should be up to the people to decide what and where they want to smoke, and ultimately up to the retailer to decide if they want to allow smoking of a legal product on their premises, not some elected official who is answerable to the public in the first place!

Cigar shops and lounges are the heart of the industry. This is where brand owners and representatives get to meet their customers, this is where new friendships are built, and with current smoking bans these lounges are becoming the only safe-haven cigar smokers can even gather at.

The cigar smokers, are citizens who have the inherent right to exercise that right at all times and in places where cigars are sold and have the place specially prepared for this. No one should stop that, is equal to the right to carry arms or weapons, is the same right

As owner of CigarFriendly.us, I see far to many places have to close shop or let people go because of overreaching laws. Business owners should have the right to chose what is best for their business.

I am an Ambassador for the Cigar Rights of America (CRA) and actively involved in the "Smoke the Vote 2010" campaign. Cigar enthusiasts will be heard.

As the Philadelphia are CRA ambassador, I am fighting to keep our rights alive to be able to smoke fine cigars especially in local brick and mortar establishments

The Government wants more in Taxes but cuts out the folks who pay tobacco taxes.

Retail Tobacconist shops are one of the last places cigar smokers can go and enjoy a cigar and each others company. A smoking ban on retail tobacconist shops is crazy.

I run a retail cigar shop and my customers should have the right to smoke in it. They come to enjoy each others company and have a safe haven away from people who feel they need to run others lives.

Not allowing smoking in a tobacconist store is like not allowing eating in a McDonalds! There is still no definite proof that second hand smoke causes any diseases!

I protest not only what is happening to our cigar smoking rights but to our fundamental rights as Americans. It seems the few are runninng roughshod over the many.

If logic and common sense are relevant, this bill is a no-brainer. The pendulum has swung far too much away from the rights of cigar-smoking citizens, particularly where no one else is adversely affected.
