However, even I realize that places of establishment, such as a restaurant, should have the right to CHOOSE THEMSELVES if they will allow smoking. There are places here that banned smoking before it became law. Those are the places I enjoy going as it was their choice to accommodate me.
The gov't should have no right to prohibit smoking in privately owned establishments. However, those public buildings such as city hall's that I have to go to, I think should be smoke free.
The gov't,however, seems to think they should be able to control it anywhere-seems YOUR HOME will be next! And it won't stop with smoking!

I am all for no smoking in grocery stores, government buildings, elevators, etc. But restaurants, bars, taverns and sports inns? They had/have smoking sections and non-smoking sections and have installed large smoke eaters to accommodate everyone. But that still wasn't good enough for the anti-smoker's. And here we sit.
There are 7 smoke-free states. I just hope the rest learn a lesson from this and not follow suit.
If the government goes into a person's home to forbid smoking, they may as well ban cigarettes and tobacco products.
I'm a smoker and I would be more than happy to enjoy a conversation with you over a brew in a smoke free establishment. Your post is refreshing, thanks.
