"What is your opinion if the majority of restaurants want smoking banned and work together with the state to enact a ban ? isn't that a private property right of the owners to petition for regulations ?"

Based on that statement, the Jim Crow laws were legal. And despite your utopian view of government, they are still enforced in Alabama and Mississippi, once you get away from the major cities. So if you walked into my business and I refused to serve you, you will get the man with the gun to come in there and force me to. Pure facism in my book.

They were found to be unconstitional. Please explain where the right to smoke is in the constitution. Is it right after the right to privacy ?
