Ditka made his point clear: if you don't like smoke, don't come to his restaraunt...

if you believe it is dangerous, dont go there- dont pass laws telling him he has to do what YOU believe

I agree with you! Businesses should make their own choices, based on their marketing plan.

That doesn't make Mike Ditka a medical expert. Exposure to cigarette smoke does harm some people who aren't smokers. And sometimes doesn't harm people who ARE smokers.

Our country is in a muddle because we've lost the concept of personal responsibility. (But I still asked Mom to smoke outside, not around the kids, until she quite in the 90's.)

Absolutely. It is a FREE country so...go to the places that don't have smokers and stay out of the places that do! I am not a smoker by the way and I hate the smell of the smoke but...I am NOT about to rule in favor of banning all smoking for all people. That's stupid!
