I consider myself to be a libertarian (even though many here would probably consider me a right-winger) and am a non-smoker. Here in Florida, indoor restaurants are now non-smoking. Used to have smoking and non-smoking sections, which was fine with me. If a restaurant didn't have a non-smoking section, we went somewhere else. Government is getting way to invasive. Another example is the use of eminent domain. Used to be just used for things like roads, schools (things in the public interest). Now it is being totally abused to increase tax base (Wal-Mart is one of the worst abusers in this regard. They will get local govn. to take property to resell to them on the basis of increased tax revenue is "for the public good.")
