Huh, we went out to dinner on Friday night with Spec and Amonkie, and as we were walking home, both The_Wife and I commented how nice it was to eat in the bar area of a restaurant without having the overpowering stench of cigarettes around us. And I loved the fact that I didn't smell like smoke in the morning.
So maybe I am ready to start proceeding down the slipery slope. It certainly greatly improved my quality of life.
Protesting, though, I think is different. It's a First Amendment issue, and I see these sorts of decisions as tough on everyone. There is no good solution since some of the protestors do actually represent a threat, if given the opportunity.
