why cant you look at it as they are protecting non-smokers from an unhealthy situation that they do not choose to bring upon themselves
people have brought up obesity and other examples
but all of those unhealthy situations are things that people have chose to partake in. a non-smokers has not chosen to have cigaretter smoke enter his lungs or ruin the taste of their food or make their clothes smell
maybe i would be seeing this different if i was a smoker, but i cant see how it is nothing more than protecting non-smokers rather than Big Brother or imposing their will
