Horse s**t!
Try serving rotten meat in your restaurant, or selling pot under the counter, or putting up a sign that says 'No blacks allowed.' Crimes and public nuisances are protected by no statute and it matters not whether they take place on public or private property. Tobacco pollution falls into the same category.
If you want to convince your fellow citizens otherwise, feel free to carp on FR or the libertarian sites about your grand theories of why it's Just So Unfair. But as time goes by, expect society -- including the courts -- to pay less and less attention to the whining of smoke junkie crybabies who want to take their nicotine fix in places open to the public.

The difference is that no customer wants to get food poisoning, whereas there are plenty of customers who want a cigar or cigarette after dinner.

Well, if you ask me it is a sad day when the rights of business owners and property owners ceases to be a Republican issue.
