Sounds fair to me. Correct me if If I'm wrong?

Correction commencing
I would totally agree that the majority has an absolute duty to regulate the environments that are either owned, or maintained by public funds.

I would also submit to you that there are environments that everyday citizens are compelled to go to even though they are privately owned. Examples include:
Grocery Stores
Doctor's offices and hospitals
Some people may even include WalMart
Even though I would disagree with regulation of a privately owned business, I could see those places being a good idea to be smoke free. Guess what? The marketplace has already determined that. They all are indeed smoke free.

Bars and restaurants are not a public necessity no one is compelled to go there. If the marketplace determined that they needed to be smoke free, then they already would be. There are some chain restaurants that are smoke free in this market already. They are quite successful in a certain demographic, one that my business does not share. Crackle Barrel does a bang up job here. My crowd is just a wee bit younger than that.

Correction terminated.
