the problem is that it creates pressure on owners to legislate themselves at the risk of their business.
it should be reversed ... the pressure should be to "allow smoking" not prohibit it. Since smoking is the invasive action.
ban smoking .... then allow business to apply for permission to be a smoking establishment.
any business that does apply has to have signs up stating that it's a "smoking" environment.
