I think smokers should have been considerate of non-smokers in public places in the first place and then you wouldn't have this backlash. Regulations are only needed when people don't do what's right in the first place.
HUH? Smokers have given up smoking in public places and accepted smoking sections in restaurants. What's more to be considerate about? Hiding in our closet so someone with sensitive eyes as yours won't ever have to see us. Sorry but it's the Anti-smoking Nazis that are inconsiderate, Hell in some places in America that's suppose to be a free country I as a smokers can't open a buisness on my private property to cater to other smokers.
Plus your arguement can be turned around so easily to include anything that a bunch of whiners wants to ban.
