Why should one's rights trample on someone else's rights?
Regardless of which side of the fence you are on.
I for one are on the side of non-smoking, but.... Since it is a legal item and is often used as it is designed... It should be legal to smoke at a said establishment.
If a owner wants to make it a non-smoking establishment, he should have that right. He is the one taking the chance of losing customers or not.
If the smoking population is about 20%, they shouldn't be able to dictate what an establishment does.

I don't want to see personal freedom curtailed. Let the free market decide. If you want to run a no smoking establishment then do so. You want to set up smoking and non-smoking areas then do so. Let the public decide with their patronage.
I won't go to a smoke filled bar. I won't eat by smokers. But thats my decision. I don't want to force my beliefs or prefrences on others.

I saw my grandpa die a slow death from smoking for years. It wasn't very appealing.
I can honestly say that I have never, ever smoked a cigarette.
