The extreme doesn't really apply. It's like replying to "I wish Herm wasn't so conservative" with "it's not like we can throw it down field 30 yards on every play". There are miles in between, with the ideal solution being more about playing smart than aggressive or conservative.
Should all smoking in every bar, restaurant, casino, etc; be banned? No. Should nonsmokers be able to enjoy some of those places without the smoke? Yes.
There are restaurants where, if I didn't know better, I'd not know they had a smoking section. There are others where smoking and non are seperated by a row of plants between booths. Like I said before, the best places for entertainment within a bar or restaurant are usually smoking... where the game is on, where the music is playing, etc. There are things that can be done without using the all-or-nothing mentality.
