You appear to be willing to force others to breathe smoke that they clearly do not want to do. These bans are POPULAR or they would not be succeeding EVERYWHERE. When I was young people did not believe they could or should smoke everywhere. They didn't smoke in Church, at the family table, some women did not even smoke around other people. But I was raised in a small town.
And no I was speaking of the anti-smoking industry which would go out of business if people did not smoke.
Smoking is a behavior which is subject to regulation by law just like all other behaviors. That is a fact of life and not socialism or fascism or tyranny anymore than not allowing public nudity is..
Actually my position is the complete opposite, and if you had been paying attention to my posts over the years you would realize this.
You however appear to be willing to force private businesses to cater to your wishes, even if they are a business you would never patronize.........such as a cigar bar. A business set up for a specific clientele, and you have no qualms about shutting them down.

Same with me, and I grew up in New York City, hardly a small town.
