I'm a nonsmoker who thinks government has no business telling people what they may allow on their own property (so long as it stays confined to their property, as tobacco smoke in any significant concentration does).

Let the business owner and his patrons decide. NOT the state. These business's are not state owned. Yet they think they can just go in and "rule the roost!"

I agree. It is presented as though the gov't MADE restaurants accommodate smokers to begin with. I wish the businesses could just say whether they allow smoking or not, and let people decide where they want to go.
