What Does Herman Cain Think Of This?

"This" being this. Which didn't provide a link, forcing us to find it ourself.
"This could be the beginning of the end of a lot of businesses down there," Vincent said. "It's basically sending a message that if you smoke, we don't want you coming into Hermosa Beach. It's clear that the City Council has been going after restaurants, bars and taverns for awhile. Through ordinances, they've managed to constrict to a point of killing an industry."

Vincent, whose restaurant has an outdoor patio smokers can use, said he never receives smoking complaints and is still struggling to financially recover from the recent yearlong overhaul of Pier Avenue, tighter parking regulations and two gloomy summers in a row, all of which have hurt businesses, he said.

Vincent added that also he felt it would be unjust to ask military veterans who happen to smoke that they can no longer light up at his businesses.

"I believe in public health, but I also believe in freedom of choice," Vincent said. "With the economy the way it is, patrons are very frugal about how their dollars are being spent.* They will just go somewhere else."
Our curiosity is piqued: When did it become "unjust" to ask veteran baby-killers to obey the same petty fucking rules & regulations to which you goddamn sheep subject yourselves? Do al Qaeda's hookah smokers hate us for our anti-smoking ordinances, rather than our freedoms? Should the slogan have been "No Blood for Tobacco?"
*In which case they should fucking quit smoking, n'est-ce pas?
