Smoking isn't free speech! And the Amendment says "Congress shall make no law...", not "There shall be no impendiment to..."

You may be correct.....
However the rest of the sentence is correct: Such bans are tantamount to precluding peaceable assemblage in that those who may choose to smoke would have to separate themselves from the assembly.

And the Amendment says "Congress shall make no law...", not "There shall be no impendiment to..."The SCOTUS has ruled over and over and over again that the First Amendment applies to state and local government by virtue of the 14th Amendment. You can disagree with the SCOTUS all you want, but the issue is has already been decided.
