"No...I am simply saying that if it is a smoking establishment ....non- smokers should Not go in because there may be smoke in there. So, if you don't like to smell smoke...simply don't go in."

It's just not that simple. Public accomodation places are supposed to be safe for the patron unless they get a waiver accepting the risk...and even then sometimes the right can't be given up.

And that is what is Wrong....however, where I am there are NO waivers...everything is non smoking and I find it extremely discriminatory.

You still can't grasp the concept of public and private, can you?

Public property: That which is purchased and maintained by tax dollars for the benefit of all people. (Maintained by the state).

Private property: That which is not purchased or maintained by tax dollars and is for the benefit of the property owner.  (Private business bought and maintained by the private business owner who will continue to pay taxes on his property.
