However, I don't think that should be legislated. Once you legislate it, you stop businesses from catering to smokers and well, there are some places that would. However, since I have a problem with others infringing on the rights of others ability to enjoy themselves, it should be perfectly acceptable for me to sue the smoker that is smoking in my face and refuses to stop or move elsewhere. :-) I think smokers should smoke outside.
