State's smoking ban draws protest
NYC Smoking Ban: Stick Your Butt in Bloomberg's Face!
Passive smoking risks in doubt, study says
Cig Cops to Pack it in at 11p.m.
Thanks for the post. This is kind of a pet issue of mine so above is a tiny bit of stewardship for the thread.
The only good thing I know about the smoking ban stuff is it sure does make it e.z. to spot bad guys. Stand up and say you believe you have a right to clean air in someone else's private space and, ding ding, we've got a positive ident: stupid, meddling, state teat suckin scum.

While you're right it's a good way to spot the bad guys - the problem is that these people do not consider a bar or restaurant private property - the definitions of public and private have totally blurred in the face of this issue.
