I'd like to believe the same thing, but it just doesn't seem to work. I've been of the same opinion of you for a long time, in fact - and made the exact same arguments time and again. I guess what does it for me is having many friends who can't go out for a drink or a cup of coffee, because they have allergies or the like. I don't think that left to a majority decision via the wallet vote, most of these businesses will change to a smoke free environment. Some of them may have areas that are "smoke-free", but that little sign doesn't seem to keep the smoke out.
Out of curiousity, are you a general Libertarian / end regulation guy across the board, or is it only in speciic areas?
