"So don't go on your moral high ground trip until you feel comfortable physically accosting smokers" Ahhh, we have found the cusp of the smokers fury...they feel morally inferior to non-smokers and are daily seeing their choice to smoke looked down upon by society (ie, the smoking bans) and are at their last gasp to feel normal within society.

Hahahah

Look sparky, would you feel confortable approaching a woman on the street and ripping the cigarette out of her mouth? Is that the type of guy you are? Or perhaps you would rather take mine?

I'm assuming that you'd say "No, I wouldn't do that. I don't have that right." However, people like you feel entitled to confer a right to government that you don't acknowledge you have. This is the ultimate in shrill cowardiss.

Or perhaps I'm wrong and you actually do take cigarettes away from people on the street. (As well as being on a first name basis with EMT physicians)

Certainly you're in the minority if that's the case. I don't smoke in restaurants, but have in bars and other adult venues, etc. I've never in such an establishment have had ANYBODY even ASK me to refrain from smoking. Yet you piously stand from afar and advocate these things.

Charming.

However, people like you feel entitled to confer a right to government that you don't acknowledge you have.

Heck, that's the American way. People without the cojones to go one on one let loose the force of Government all the time to stop others from doing things they don't like.

No, pardner, I wouldn't walk up to you and get near your stinkin' cigarette, cough, cough.

Seriously, if you and I were to be eating in the same restaurant and you light up, tell me can you keep the second hand smoke to your table only? No, I suspect not. Name for me one act that I can do at my table which would interfere with your dining experience the way that your cigarette smoke with interfere with mine.

That is the difference between you and me--I don't want to mess with the air you are breathing in the restaurant but you seem to have no qualms spreading your second hand smoke around the room. I don't care if you smoke--go ahead but please don't think that a seperate section or partition segregates your habit from those who don't smoke.
