I don't understand why this is such a big deal, because I don't know about where you live, but where I live, there aren't that many places left anymore that allow smoking. Other than bars and a few choice restaurants, there aren't many places that do. Why is it so hard to simply avoid those places?
One thing I am totally against is getting rid of smoking in bars. A bar is supposed to be a haven for things like the reek of alcohol and cigarettes. To be honest (havn't touched a cigarette in over a year and a half and don't plan to), there is nothing more relaxing than a good cigarette and a cold beer. A bar is a place to unwind with the guys, light up a cigarette and have a beer. Why would you want to take that away from someone? PROLONGED exposure to second hand smoke results in health problems, as in, you live with someone who smokes, but sitting in the same bar with a guy who smokes is not going to kill you. It's YOUR CHOICE to continue sitting there. No one is making you.
THE SUN IS GOING TO GIVE YOU CANCER!!! QUICK BLOT OUT THE SUN!!! AHHHHHH!!! Sorry, had to be sarcastic for a second there. :p
