For people who think they have the right to subject others to the medical consequences of THEIR OWN unhealthy habits, their alternative is to take it outside. See how easy the solution is. There's a big difference between cars and cigarettes when viewed in the proper context, IMO.

Again, this isn't about smokers. It's about business, and property owners being dissallowed to accept legal activities in their place of business. As far as your welfare mom goes, most gas stations, and grocery stores don't allow smoking. Those would be great career choices. Or, she could just go to one of the thousands of non smoking restaurants already in place.
