Stupid Quote of the Week
Rep. Jeff Barnhart, R-Cabarrus, said his nonsmoking father-in-law spent two decades working in an office with five smoking co-workers. When surgeons removed one of his lungs, it was so black the doctors were convinced the older man was a heavy smoker, Barnhart said. Although businesses may protest against the Legislature dictating how they operate, he said public health should trump all.
“Property rights are important, but your health rights are more important,” Barnhart said.
Rep. Barnhart is about to go on CPO’s Dead Republican Walking list.
