Pan, how can you possibly go on about compromise when you can't even stand to be forced to smoke outside? That, sir, is compromise. It may not be the kind of compromise you wanted, but it is the kind of compromise that the majority of people wanted.
And as for nonsmokers becoming emotional, well, you're the only person in this thread to write whole paragraphs in upper case letters. It is clear to me that you are quite emotional on this given subject, more emotional than any of the nonsmokers.
All your talk of censorship is irrelevant; the right to express yourself is not the same as the right to smoke cigarettes in bars and restaurants, and frankly, you have to be delusional not to see that. I mean shit, how self important do you have to be to think that you being mildly inconvenienced in the practice of 1 habit is an obvious precursor to broad, government sanctioned repression?
If you think the ability to smoke in a bar is related to the ability to speak without fear of persecution you need to start sprinkling a little "reality" dust on those cigarettes of yours.
