ObieX... No one is saying you cannot smoke. They are just saying you can't smoke in a public place where it will effect others.
As others have pointed out, bars, while privately owned are subject to all sorts of laws...
Bars may nor serve alcohol to minors for example.
Some bars may not serve alcohol between certain hours.
Some are abligated to be completely closed during others.
All bars are located only where zoning permits them (i.e. commerical zoning, etc.)
The smoking law is just another one of these regulations. This does not impinge upon your right to smoke. Puff away until you heart is content.
