I do not believe the government has the right to ban smoking in businesses. I believe the business owner should be the one making that call. They have a right to allow smoking on their property. Now many people will say "yeah, well I have a right to clean air". That is true, except when you are in someone else's home, their right to smoke on their property trumps your right to clean air. You don't have to be in someone's home just as you don't have to go to the bar that allows smoking. Why does your right to clean air trump the business owners rights as the property owner, but not the rights of the homeowner? I think the property owners right should trump your right to clean air in both cases. If you don't like it, take your business somewhere else. Simple as that.
