So let me ask you some questions: Why can't anti-smokers set up their own smoke-free establishment then? Why do they have to force private business owners to ban smoking?
If taverns and nightclubs would go smoke-free, according to the busybodies' logic, they'll gain more customers, right? So...why aren't business owners opening up smoke-free establishments then?
Let the free market decide, instead of special-interest busybodies who con local governments into banning smoking.

Problem is that I get taxed to fund Medicare, Medicaid, etc so that those who choose to smoke can then get treated for bronchitis, lung cancer, MI, TIA, stroke, etc.
