Restaurants and bars are buldings, where the public go. Of course they are not owned by the public.

The difference between a bar and a home are many. One is a place of business held open to the public, one is not. One has a license from a city, one does not. One is regulated by the health department and regularly inspected, one is not. Numerous zoning issues apply and much much more. Shall I go on?

Sorry, my arguments cannot be made about homes. My argument presumes a place held open to the public. And it is you who seek to change the debate with all your maladroit analogies.

Why will you not address the real issue of harm? One class of people, say it with me, what do they do? Breath. Another class of people. What do they do? Foul the air for everyone. Who should the law protect? You have TWO rights here. The right to smoke and the right NOT to smoke. Answer this one question, which of these rights is more important?
