I understand that the majority can quite often dictate what the minority does. However I just don't understand why the non-smoking majority should insist on banning smoking in bars where the owner, the patrons and the employees do not mind. If everybody in the place smokes why should we force them to go outside?
I get the impression that many non-smokers really just want to ban smoking in all places in case they happen to want to go there. Either that or they are disgusted by the habit and want to force everyone to quit. Why else would they care about smoking in places they can easily avoid?
