Yep. My dad's occasional cigars didn't cause the melanoma that eventually marched through his body.

I don't blame restaurants for being angry. A lot of smokers boycotted eateries here, years ago.

Well, I know "I" did.  I tried eating out at my favorite tavern right after the ban.  I felt like I was in a reform school setting.  That was the last time I spent my money sitting in a restaurant/bar/tavern that can not accommodate me just because I smoke.  Heck, I can smoke at home, order in and save money!
