What happens when the states pass laws banning smoking in public. It then becomes illegal.

No, the commodity is still legal. Go to California. You can still buy cigarettes, tobacco, rolling papers (Haaaaaa), cigars, etc.
And it should STILL be up to the business owner/manager as to allow, or disallow, smoking in their business but the anti-smoking cabal has, once again, used junk science, scare tactics, and in this case, the California health nuts to get laws passed that shouldn't even be on the books.

But they are on the books and you have to abide by them. Why can't you accept that not everybody wants to livw in a smoke filled environment.

I can buy guns at the gun store. I am even licensed to carry a concealed weapon. You know what, I am NOT allowed to take my weapon into an establishment that sell liquor. Does it piss me off? Hell yes. Do I take my weapon inside? Hell no.

Sometimes life sucks. Get a helmet and get over it. Smoke at home. Smoke in your car. Smoke at your friends house. But don't smoke where you aren't wanted and the people of California have decided that they don't want you in their public places.
