I was a bartender in NYC when the "no smoking" in bars law came into effect. Lot's of people were angry and it hurt business. People would stop in for a drink and when it was cigarette time, they would smoke outside and leave. Others went across the river to New Jersey and smoked in the bars over there. Now I'm used to it and when I go to a bar, my clothes don't stink of stale smoke. Now if someone were to light a smoke in the bar, they would be ridiculed. If you are affecting other's health, then your habit should be restricted, but you should be allowed to smoke outside as the smoke will dissipate. Or there should be a few designated bars for smokers, so at least you have a choice. Just my two cents.
