Why do you suppose so many countries have banned it so many times?

I suggest it was because it was offensive to others. They have also banned spitting on the sidewalk and letting your dog take a dump in my yard.

agreed. Not a hazard to others that is not allergic to the smoke.

Thus it should be up to the store how he runs his business.

If you think that billions of dollars are being spent to ban smoking because "it is offensive to others", you are a pure unadulterated retard. A self centered one no less. As if people spend billions of dollars and hours of their time to make you comfortable. Retard is probably a compliment. Read the anti-tobacco playbook....
