I have to agree 100%. I don't like smoking, either. I DO NOT have the right to tell others what to do, or force the heavy hand of government on them because I don't like what they are doing.
Many restaraunts had "non-smoking" sections. I am very sensitive to cigarette smoke, and I was never bothered. Now, we have Big Brother forcing a businesses to have a 100% "smoke free" environment. If these so called good citizens are so concerned, they don't have to do business with these establishments. I do, however believe smoking should be prohibited in such obvious places as stores, doctors offices and theatres.

I also have no problem with smoking prohibited in places where every one "has" to go at some point, i.e. - government offices, Motor Vehicle; courts, etc.

By the government? No. Let the store owners, doctors, and theater owners set their own rules. If I don't like their rules, I'll take my business to a store/doctor/theater whose rules I like more.

In the unlikely event that none of them is to my liking, I can always open a store of my own, if I think the market will support it (and, if not, too bad).
