I don’t care.

If I walk into a place and I don’t like it because of the smell, light, touch, sound, or whatever, I speak with my feet and leave. I don’t need laws to make me think.

Let's say the research methods were sound and this study is true. The Feds' scientists have proven once again that smoking is bad for your health.

That still doesn't justify the draconian smoking bans that have been imposed across America. If smoking is dangerous to one's health, then health-minded people can simply choose not to visit privately-owned places where smoking is allowed. No government intrusion is necessary to solve this "problem".

As people who value liberty, shouldn't we reject government intrusion when it isn't necessary?
