Stupid Government

So Iowa in all of it's brilliance passes the smoking ban that took effect July first of this year. Not only is this an infringement on my personal freedom as an individual but also as a business owner. If I don't care if someone smokes in my business why should the government. I believe there are studies out there that show there is no link between second hand smoke and lung cancer. Unless I am mistaken those studies were either done by the WHO or the UN NOT big tobacco. Unfortunately I do not have a link to those studies, I have only heard about them from a reliable news source.
But I digress, Iowa passes the ban and then forces my business to purchase stickers to be placed on the doors of my business. These stickers cost $1.50 each! What's the big deal it was only $3, right? Its the principle! If it really is that important to the government let them pay for the flippin' stickers, or at least give them to us at cost. I have a very hard time believing that it cost a buck and a half to have those stickers made. Maybe I'll just call the number on the sticker that is there for complaints.
By the way, I am a horrific speller, and even though I spell check, I usually still have some slip through. Sorry.
