I believe that the free market would eventually ban tobacco from restaruants. I don't think gov't should do so, except that the argument for protecting employees from SHS is compelling when bars and restaurants are the only business that is exempt.
However, my POV is moot. The politicians are on a roll here and its not going to be stopped unless the smokers could change their image.
So, far the smokers on this page are not in any compromising mood and the consequence of that is they are going to get killed in the poliical field.
