I'd be very interested to see data supporting the idea that secondhand smoke isn't dangerous, especially in light of the fact that it can induce asthma attacks in people who suffer from asthma.

Ill post links when I have time to search for data.

Even if it is were just a matter of annoyance(which i don't think it is), that still doesn't mean making laws against it is outrageous. Noise pollution laws are all about curbing annoyance.
Not that i'm actually advocating this but, if you wan't to take a hardline stance, it you're a smoker who is bothered that much by not being able to smoke, don't frequent establishments that won't let you smoke.

Under the new smoking laws in new york, and recently in my hometown in florida, you dont have that choice. Every establishment is smoke free, enforced by law. I cant vote with my dollar and frequent places that give me the option, because the option has been taken away.
