I could agree to the fact that smoking is a nuisance to those who choose not to smoke, however, when you ban smoking COMPLETELY even in bars and such then you are stepping on one groups toes to make another group happy. I go to a bar to drink and hang out with friends because that's what we enjoy. I don't go to conform or try to fit it with the "90% of the sheep/population" A bar is not a healthy place. So why shouldn't I be able to smoke? We've had prohibition and I still believe that alcohol is a drug that needs more attention. Those laws have obviously changed. All I'm saying is that there are better ways to solve this than, "I have a right not to smell it" or "that shit is nasty" If the government really wanted to do something about it they could actually benefit from some of Holo's idea's. I wouldn't be surprised if you actually saw smoking only restaraunts and non-smoking only. That would kinda suck. I think the fans/ real barriers would work wonders and it would help appease both sides.
