And I'm surprised by how many people are saying "I'm generally libertarian except when the intrusion suits me personally." That's not libertarianism, that's just being cantankerous and disagreeable so that not a lot of things suit you.
Morrigoon: And that is why I would generally support outdoor smoking bans, you don't have a choice. But just the peanut allergy person can choose not to got o Thai Restaurants (and Lani and I leave if someone is wearing perfume that sets her sinuses off), non-smokers can do the same. I find it ironic that smoking has been banned where I can choose not to go and pushed out into the places where I have much less choice.
I agree that given the choice there may end up being not a lot of places that offer truly smoke free environments (though they did exist before there were laws; I grew up bowling in a non-smoking bowling alley and our local crappy Chinese restaurant was completely non-smoking) but tough titty, said the kitty, when the milk ran dry.
