How come none of these Boards of Health have established a mximum toxicity level for second hand smokeAnd I'll get sick if someone has the smell of kerosene on their clothes or person. We're going to let the government ban all "bad" smells?Its the smell that is the issue. Even clothing worn by a smoker is enough to make some nonsmokers feel sick.
OSHA has established PELs for most if not all of the "bad" components in cigarette smoke, and just about all bars and restaurants meet them. This isn't about real safety or health, this is about a bunch of sanctimonious bureaucraps trying to force us to live by their rules in all aspects of our lives, "for our own good" of course.
As has been mentioned, that's why they don't just let the businesses themselves decide.

I agree. Nonsmokers hate the smell and will use whatever arguments they an to accomplish the desired result which is to be able to go everywhere without having to smell the smoke. Its not about health issues.
