I have no problem with banning smoking in public indoor places. Every worker has a right to work in a smoke free environment. Second hand smoke is carcinogenic. Banning smoking in confined outdoor spaces is also alright by me. If I'm sitting on a patio eating dinner, I don't want to have cigarette smopke drifting into my face.

Banning smoking anywhere in public is a step too far however. And if they try to ban smoking on a golf course they'll have to pry the Cohiba out of my cold dead fingers.
