[TB]  I'm not sure why someone should be expected to change their life
because someone insists on doing something stupid, dangerous, or in the
case of the kick in the ass is probably a felony.

It's not just the other customers.  Employers are expected to provide a
safe workplace, thus various methods of keeping air clean in
manufacturing plants and auto body repair shops.

We recall children's toys if a single individual is killed or injured,
yet no one has ever figured out a safe way to use tobacco and thousands
are killed each year.  Don't those working in a business serving food
or alcohol deserve the same safe workplace that everyone else does?
