re: public ban on the use of tobacco

If I have to breath in second-hand smoke in the open air, I'm sharing in your a smoker's habit--however briefly. It's pretty straightforward and simple.

But you're not being forced to do it and is free to walk away at any time. If you don't like people smoking or an establishment that allows it, don't associate with them and leave it at that.

I say this as someone who absolutely hates smoking and doesn't even drink. Smoking almost killed my father when I was two but he made it through thank god. I just don't appreciate and respect people trying to control private entities when nobody is being hurt, forced to do anything, property is stolen, and/or people are being slandered/defrauded.
