Like making it a health hazard by allowing smoking? Last time I checked, ensuring public well-being was something governments were responsible for....but they shouldn't be able to tell the owner of a building that they cannot let people do something that's perfectly legal within it.
While I agree that smokers shouldn't blow smoke directly into others' faces, non-smokers need to take some responsibility for themselves. If you don't want to be exposed to environmental smoke, don't willingly walk into a restaurant that allows smoking.Wes said:Like making it a health hazard by allowing smoking?

Second-hand smoking on people (that is, blowing smoke on an unwilling victim) should be illegal, like rape is. Both are unwanted invasions of someone else's body.

Permit smoking in specific places.
