You are an idiot.

I don't give a damn wehat you think. You can't just decided on your own to take rights away from others. You can't even get a majority an "vote" other people's rights away.

Let's get rid of Public Restrooms too, right. I mean it's messy, and no one has a right to stink up the space.

I don't usually agree with Illbay, but this time I do. And he is not an idiot, not by a long shot. When someone smokes in a public place, they take away my right to a smokeless environment. However, I believe that the militant non-smokers are going way overboard. I do believe that if a restaurant wants smoking in their establishment, then the government should not say otherwise. As a non-smoker, I can choose to go elsewhere--and will. That's what the free market is all about. However, the work place is entirely different. If a business has all smokers, then there's no reason to ban it. But I believe that anyone should have the right to work in a non-smoking environment. I currently work with a man who is allergic to everything. I can't wear perfume or microwave a lot of foods (the ones I happen to like). I once had to remove a salad that had raw onion in it. Yes, it drives me crazy, but as a fellow human being, I believe it is my responsibility to exercise a little discipline so that he has an acceptable work environment.
