Unless smoking were specifically protected by the constitution like guns, the press, speech, religion etc then its perfectly alright for the majority to ban it.

The incremental chipping away of the Fifth Amendment by freedom haters doesn't make private property rights any less valid.

Your consistent defense of mob rule is tiresome.

My defense is of the republican form of gov't. I merely named the driving force as economic and attempt to teach you that when things are motivated by economics its a pretty strong force to stop.

If you want to avoid the majority and the economics on this issue then you will need to get an amendment to the constitution to protect your precious right to smoke. Hint:It ain't gonna happen.
