If you want to ban smoking, or body odor, or strong perfume, or anything else on public property, I am open to a discussion on the topic and may or may not be convinced. If you want to force the owner of a restaurant to ban smoking, or any of the above, I am not open to discussion and can never be convinced it's the right thing to do. Although that's exactly what happened here in FL...

I agree about private property. My city just enacted a no-smoking law in restaurants and and pubs which also serve food and I'm totally opposed to it, even though I consider myself a radical non-smoker. I oppose it on property rights grounds. I hope it is repealed and would vote for a repeal.
On public property, it is a whole different matter. However, I would abide by the decision of a referendum law, even if it allowed smoking on public property.
