Its the same as saying you can't wear your pants half off your ass, or you can't wear a shirt with a rebel flag on it. I personally think "grills" are one of the stupidest trends our country has seen in a while, plus it could be distracting.

If you say smoking should be banned in public because it causes harm to the health of others, I think that is a compelling argument. I'm taking issue with people who say that they, for example, hate leaving a bar smelling like smoke therefore smoking should be banned. The end result is the same if smoking is banned, but the arguments are very different.
