Xera you are kind of arguing that two wrongs make a right ...
just because alcohol is bad for people too and is allowed in public places should mean that smoking should be two.
all that can be said is that unless you are an aggressive or stupid drinker, having a few drinks, even getting completely drunk, does not harm the person sitting opposite you, or the person working behind the bar or the child living in your house. smoking does that. should bar workers or waiters be forced to work in an environment that harms them? you might argue that they should and 'cos they have a choice to seek employment elsewhere, but this is not always possible - I honestly think that people have the right to breath clean air in their workplace and that it is the law's job to protect this right.
