Rock...banning smoking in public places should be left to those that own thos places. The gov't can ban it in their buildings...you can ban it in your buildings...but why shouldn't Sway be able to open a bar and say "smoking allowed here." You can choose not to patronize it and he will have to make a decision to cater only to smokers or change his policy.
I think that it is the issue of coeercion by gov't mandate that is at issue rather than whether smoke smells or is good for you.
As an aside...and completely distinct from your ability to be free of smoky environments...the scientific evidence actually does say that second hand smoke does NOT correlate with higher levels of cancer. (I'm sure it does aggravate asthma and people who don't like the smell! )
