" It's not about choice, it's about HEALTH. Do you know that your insurance is double what it should be because of smokers? The hospitals and doctor's offices are filled with smokers (Doc, I can't get rid of this hacking cough I have had since 1975) They are weak and vile. Close Costello's and open a health club. Please say "I smoke and I (cough, hack, cough) vote. I love that! "

" Why would anybody who doesn't smoke want to go to Costellos? and if you don't spend any money at Costellos or pay Costellos bills, what do you care what happens in side Costellos? What happened to freedom of choice? "

" How has the government stripped your rights? The government is the people and we want to patronize a business without breathing smelly toxic smoke and the government is serving the will of the people. We might be stripping you of your right to be inconsiderate and stupid. "

" Just go outside to smoke!Why should people who dont smoke have to smell that crap?Just give people something to complain about.I have a right to give others cancer even if they dont smoke? Get a life.Whats the big deal ? "

" I don't know what Legion RWT belongs to that allows smoking.Mine respects the law and does not allow smoking inside our building. Our war vets have to go outside to smoke just like everyone else. "

" What about the clubs, DO THEY ALLOW SMOKING? "

Costello's is all about a bigger issue which exceeds the City limits of Auburn for all the small thinkers..

We are letting the Government strip us of freedom of choice. If a business chooses to allow smoking then those that do not like it should not patronize the establishment. Let the economics and market sort out who wins or loses.

If you want to smoke - let your insurance company bang you in premiums or cause a person to get a special policy attachment. Or a person could choose to waiver their rights of insurance coverage for any health matter tied to smoking. Once gain ... the freedom of choice.

The State of New York is violating our Federal Constitution. The anti- anything is not a States right to decide. If it is, then abortion should not be a Federal issue.

How long will it be before every diner and fast food restaurant will only be allowed to serve veggie burgers? "

" Auburn is VERY friendly to business patrons. The law is the law. Unfortunately the owner doesn't get it. Most people are thrilled that smoking isn't allowed in restaurants and bars. You no longer have to throw your clothes away! Smoking=Death "

" Well, isn't Auburn friendly to small business. Feb 7 then what? If the Legions and VFWs allow smoking, shut them down too. "
