You seem to miss the point of many in this discussion...we understand that those areas designated as non-smoking "by law" are off limits for us to indulge our habit.

Despite the illegality of these laws they continue to be enacted/upheld by those representing the antis...it amounts to seizure of private property and use designation without input/consent by the property owner.

Our beef is with the never-ending avalanche of ill-will and legal manuevering aimed at curtailing our right to engage in the enjoyment of a legal product anywhere!

Thanks borisbob69, but many here do not understand. They insist that they have a RIGHT to smoke wherever they choose. When that argument fails, they claim PROPERTY RIGHTS. The fact remains that LAWS have always defined PROPERTY USE, which is what they are actually arguing. In some states that have restricted smoking, it is still legal to open a smoking club where those who prefer to smoke can do so without restriction. I visit them sometimes, but mostly I prefer a cigar in the open air. I can understand the fear that even this use may be banned, but so far it has not. My problem is that by insisting on their RIGHT to smoke ANYWHERE, they have forced others to form a MOB...previously referred to as VOTERS...in order to assert THEIR RIGHT to a smoke-free environment.
