I have to agree with you on smoking. I think instead of states banning
smoking, they should give tax breaks to businesses that are completely
non-smoking. A bar doesn't have to be non-smoking, but the owner knows that
the non-smoking one next door is paying less to the government because of
it.
I've worked in a casino for over five years. Three of it was in Guest
Safety (Security), where a majority of my day was spent dealing with the
"bad" guests. In those three years, I personally placed five people in
handcuffs and eventually arrested three of them for assault. Those three
were intoxicated.
It's my experience that drunks are worse than smokers. Why don't we make
drinking in public places illegal?

P.S. I know, I know... drinking doesn't directly harm the person next to
you. It's also my experience that almost all smokers are polite enough to
stop when you ask. If not, there are scores of other slot machines, table
games, bars, casinos, and restaurants.
P.P.S. I'm a non-smoker, too.

I believe that smoking is a health hazard and smokers should be considerate.
Smokers should avoid smoking in high traffic areas. Does that mean that all
public places should be non-smoking? Butts are litter and first and second
hand smoke is hazardous but do we cross the line when we tell business
owners
that they must prohibit smoking? Wouldn't the free market take care of that.
Don't patronize an establishment that allows smoking if you find it
offensive.
If enough people join your boycott then the business will fail.
