Cheryl, Come on, I can fully understand that you want a smoke free eating indoor establishment to better enjoy your meal. As a smoker myself I to go out to enjoy a meal and prefer to sit in the non smoking section. But to ban smoking in all public places is absurd (i.e. outdoors on the street or on the beach). I am not defending smoking I am defending the right to smoke if one makes that choice to do so. Smoking is not illegal. Maybe it should be just to satisfy you. Perhaps you have a vice that offends others, perhaps big government should take that away from you. Think about the bigger picture. Don't let government tell you what to do.
