It should be a business's choice to decide whether to be smoke-free or not. If you don't want to deal with smoke, then don't go to a place that allows it. As a smoker i can say that i am very respectful of people that don't smoke, i don't blow out smoke if someone is walking by and i don't stand where there are many people...i can hardly say that non-smokers are respectful of smokers. Why should smokers be the ones that have to stay at home to smoke? If you have a problem with smoke at a bar, how about YOU stay home and drink. You are not going to get cancer from walking by someone who is smoking. I'm going to smoke at a place if they allow it and if you don't like it then go somewhere else. While we're at it lets ban fat people from all fast food establishments.
freedom of choice
