I love it!! Safiness This is a good discussion. Thanks CNB for pointing out the inability of anyone to prove/disprove the relationship of second hand smoke and health. As you state, the exposure level, etc....cannot be accurately measured, at least not in any practical way that would legitimately reflect that which occurs in the environment.

Quite frankly, I think the health issues are secondary to the real issue here, which is one of rights. Those of the business owner to run his establishment in any way they wish, and those of people who believe that every business should provide the type of environment that they want.
