Agreed entirely, when it comes to the fact that we all knew(and hey, who wouldn't guess THIS EXACT FACT is why?) it was the odor of cig/cigar smoke is what antis always objected to, and why they pushed for all the indoor bans in the first place? My problem, is now they push for smoking ban expansions in every last frontier they can(the outdoors, any bars/casinos/private clubs/adult businesses where it isn't already banned, and increasingly one's residence, as already what some California communities have done). Not to mention, they include e-cigs in these bans as well.
No wonder I hate ex-smokers who've turned anti(Michael Bloomberg, Rob Reiner(and who South Park infamously parodied in the episode Butt Out)), with every bit of my body. They obnoxiously need to stop pushing this crap, especially when they ridiculously try to push outdoor smoking restrictions for the hell of it. Plus EVEN try to threaten colleges with the loss of grant money if they don't adopt total outdoor college campus smoking bans, like what one group did to University of Texas at Austin. (I'll post that article and the name of that group, once I remember that group's name, and the URL of that article)

: have to agree with them on this one, but I
: believe that letting many businesses choose
: would be better so that there are both
: smoker friendly places that can be avoided
: by non smokers as well as places that don't
: allow smoking at all either inside or on a

: feet from the door in the parking lot if I
: want to have a cigarette if I CHOOSE to eat
: or drink at a non smoking establishment. My
: point is I don't like seeing that there are
: no choices for the smokers and the Anti's
: still have to walk through the tunnel of

: because all of the smokers are standing
