Smoking unlike driving (I don't drive yet...yes I'm that lazy to not get my back getting a drivers license lol

) isn't something required for many people to go from a place to another. In fact, smoking is quite the unneeded thing and you can perfectly live without doing so (but as people do so, free they are to smoke in the streets where natural air refill exists...or also obviously at their home). You can say same for cars, but I would tell you that many jobs require it. I would agree something must be done with pollution of cars though, but well, it's another debate.
You do not have to patronize those places that allow smoking inside and do not have a separate ventilation system. It is your choice to visit them. If you do not like that a specific place does allow smoking, then complain to the owner/manager and try to get them to change policies. But do not enact laws that take away the rights of others because you do not like them exorcising those rights. And yes, it is the right of the property owner to decide whether to allow smoking or not.
Yes it means that the smokers have the upper hand ("if you don't smoke and don't stand it get the heck elsewhere"), for reasons I mentioned already. Going out for few minutes isn't same as being unable to enter at all the place.
this law is stupid seriously ,Those Non smoker CHOOSE to go to those bars/Pubs its never forced.What is a bar without smoke,beers and peanuts? if they can't handle it then they must go to a restaurant and order some expensive wine!!!!
Ah yes, awesome! You don't/cannot stand smoking, you don't party, at all. Nice way to think, perfect incarnation of my earlier yelling at mobilephone people!

Nope, rather some ban people to come by just because they cannot stand smoke, rather than spend few minutes outside every few hours.
But yes i do agree on the smoking in the street being banned as I've walked to school a few times and walked past someone smoking and they made my clothes smell like smoke lol its not best to smell like in High School....
Hmm even though I dislike smoking's smell, I would disagree with banning it in the streets, because in the streets you got the air and all, in the public buildings/clubs/restaurants etc you don't, unless the owner installs an expensive system to refresh the air. As a non smoker I would think it wouldn't be fair for smokers to ban it in the streets, unlike the bans of inside.
Exactly the government has No Right to Force public area's to go Green/Non Smoking.because in fact 60% of this world over 19 is a smoker right now they would just kill business unless they got a smoking area.
Screw the part out of 40% remaining ones who don't/can't stand it? (this remark of mine is also related to your first part of your post) Well after all you can still smoke in this place called the outside and the streets. So tobacco sellers can still sell their stuff and people can still consume it.
