My feeling on it this -- if you want to ruin your own health by smoking, fine. I can respect that. But the thing about smoking is that it doesn't just affect the smoker. It affects those around them.

If I am going to go to a restaurant and choke, I would rather it be on the food than the cancer/emphysema/heart disease stick someone insists on having after their caesar salad. You want a cigarette after eating, THEN GET UP, WALK OUT, INGEST YOUR FIVE MINUTES OF SMOKE, and come back in!! You are entitled to that in this state just as much as I am entitled not to feel like I'm dying while you do.
