To allow or prohibit smoking on one's private property should be in the hands of the owner/management ONLY. If someone doesn't want to be around smoke, they can choose not to support that business. There are over 700 restaurants in the Wilmington area...plenty for people to find a non-smoking establishment if they want. There are quite a few local restaurants that have gone to non-smoking policies in recent years. This new law is nothing more than a publicity campaign for a government intent on destroying what is left of our private property rights.
It should be a management decision....
